Canadian City Pulls Pro-Life Bus Shelter Ads Citing "Offensiveness"
By John Jalsevac

HAMILTON, Ontario, January 17, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The city of Hamilton Ontario has decided to pull a series of pro-life advertisements from its bus-shelters, saying that they were “offensive” and too “controversial.”

The ads, which are part of a nation-wide pro-life campaign coordinated by Life Canada, depict a pregnant woman. At the top of the ad are the words, “Nine months: the length of time abortion is allowed in Canada. No medical reason needed.” At the bottom is the question, “Abortion, have we gone too far?”

The ads, which include bus, transit shelter, newspaper, radio, billboard and postcard ads, are being run in dozens of cities across Canada. Fredericton, New Brunswick, and Kelowna, British Columbia are the only other cities in the country that have refused to run the ads. Kelowna Right to Life, however, has arranged for the ad to be displayed on a large billboard overlooking a main artery running into the city.
 
This message needs to be heard. I hope the billboards work. Maybe the Canadian abortion will go down just like the US’s. However, we hope it will go down 100%
 
As a Canadian myself, it pains me to see how a country that is supposedly over 40% Catholic, and 80% Christian overall has sunk to such lows.
