March For Life 2005: May 11-13 Ottawa

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?

May 14, 1969 - Passage of Liberal government's Omnibus Bill that greatly weakened restrictive Canadian abortion laws, jeopardizing the lives of women and children by opening the door to the abortion culture.

Jan. 28, 1988 - Permissive 1969 abortion law, (Section 251) was struck down from the Criminal Code by the Supreme Court of Canada resulting in full legal abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy.

To date over 3,000,000 children have been killed by surgical abortions and an untold number by chemical abortions.

Based on numbers from Statistics Canada, we can expect approximately 2,822 babies to be aborted weekly. This is a small town a week. - Faytene Kryskow, Director, 4 MY Canada (Motivated Young People for a Strong Canada)

He who has saved a single life, it is as though he has saved the entire world. - The Talmud

Whereas the child, by reason of his physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth - United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child, General Assembly resolution 1386 (XIV) 20 November 1959

In Canada it is legal to kill a healthy boy or girl within seconds before birth. There are no laws to protect against abortion at any stage of pregnancy. In the face of all opposition, we should steadfastly resist the persistent attempts by benighted MPs and rogue judges to impose euthanasia on the sick, the elderly and the handicapped. Come what may, we should never give up the struggle to combat the mass slaughter of babies in the womb. In our time and place, we should resolve to go on witnessing to the truth, for all times and places, that every human life is sacred from conception to natural death. - Rory Leishman, London Free Press

Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. . . . the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent child . . . The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -a child- as a competitor, an intrusion and an inconvenience (Quotes by Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
