Militant abortion campaigner heads women's hospital.


Toronto -- Self-styled feminist, abortion campaigner and former Toronto Star newspaper columnist Michele Landsberg has been elected to head up Women's College Hospital, which the province has just announced will divorce from Toronto's Sunnybrook hospital to focus on women's health. The hospital had been merged with Sunnybrook by the previous Progressive Conservative government.

Michele Landsberg is an extremely outspoken advocate of abortion and radical feminism. For years she has been a bitter opponent of the pro-life movement. In 2002 for example, a Landsberg column strongly supported condom-promoting actions by the anti-Catholic Catholics for a Free Choice at Toronto's World Youth Day.

Landsberg's husband is Stephen Lewis, the former leader of the Ontario NDP NDP - .NET Developer Platform

, former Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations, and former Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF. In his long political career, Lewis has promoted every anti-life cause imaginable, beginning with abortion in 1965. Recently, Lewis severely chastised the U.S.-supported, and highly successful, abstinence-only program in Uganda for its rejection of the U.N.'s condom approach to AIDS (September 23, 2005, LifeSiteNews.com).
