More than 15,00 pro-life advocates filled the nation’s capital today as they participated in the national March for Life to draw attention to opposition to abortion, which has been allowed on demand in Canada since 1969.

The large crowd gathered for the 14th annual event in front of the Peace Tower and listened to an array of speeches before they began parading through the city streets. The crowd ranged from college and high school students to senior citizens and include people with political signs and others with religious symbols signifying their Christian faith and they were joined by Terrence Prendergast, the Catholic archbishop of Ottawa.

Jen Bradley of Milton, Ontario, told Canada Press, “I do think that a march like this, a doubling of numbers and spreading the word, such as it is, is a step in the right direction.”

Father Tom Lynch, a Catholic priest, said pro-life advocates should press Prime Minister Stephen Harper on abortion, telling Canada Press, “I think Stephen Harper has made it very clear that he and other political leaders don’t want to re-open, as he puts it, the issue of abortion or other pro-life issues. But the reality is that with every new Parliament, with every new government, we have a moral duty and we have a civic right to be able to express our opinion to be able to achieve changes in public policy.”

I just barely caught this on the six o’clock news.
This is a nice change as usually this event is basically overlooked.
(I haven’t read all of the text of the following article. I didn’t watch the video report either as I saw most of it earlier. Now it’s bedtime. :yawn
Thousands rally on Parliament Hill for pro-life march.

This is the second time in TWO years the Secular press has reported on it.They totally ignored it for the first 12 years.Something is happening-the young are flocking to the Culture of Life in part because they realize that ANYONE born in Canada after 1969 escaped with their lives from the most dangerous place in Canada-THE WOMB.Each young person is a survivor.

My son is there and I am so proud of his commitment and membership and mentoring of his Pro-Life Club.His teacher Mrs.Einhorn is an angel and we parents owe her so much.Mr.Van Reuven,another teacher is a man of the greatest integrity and devotion.

The murderous Grannies are dying off and going to their"reward".and are bemoaning the fact(NARAL,N.O.W,P.P.)that there are fewer and fewer young women who wish to replace them.The Americans will defeat this Satanic murder of the unborn with God’s guidance and Canada will follow.
