Thousands to join in demonstrations against abortion across Canada
On Sunday, October 6, thousands of pro-life advocates in every province across Canada (and one territory) will gather to peacefully pray for a renewed appreciation for the sanctity of all human life.
Life Chain, brought to Canada from the U.S. in 1990, is an annual day of public witness for children killed in their mother’s wombs by abortion.
Participants line busy streets and intersections holding signs with messages such as “Abortion Kills Children,” “Abortion Hurts Women,” and “Adoption: A Loving Option.” The event is a reminder of the hidden killing taking place in local abortion facilities, some public hospitals, and now private homes with the propagation of the abortion pill.
“Thousands of pro-lifers will courageously share their convictions in public, and thousands more will encounter the message that ‘Abortion Kills Children,’ but also the message that ‘Jesus Forgives & Heals,’” said Josie Luetke, Campaign Life Coalition’s Director of Education & Advocacy and one of the event organizers. “Our presence proves that the abortion debate is far from over, and that it will not be over until our prayer for an end to abortion is answered.”
Luetke said that this is the 35th Life Chain in Canada that Campaign Life Coalition has helped organize. “We're thrilled that this pro-life witness continues to expand into new communities across the country. Last year, Life Chain took place in over 320 locations, and we expect to exceed that number again this year.”
