Campaign Life Coalition will Work Closely with Elected Pro-Life MPs
TORONTO, Oct. 15 2008 - Election 2008 is now history and political pundits are scanning numbers to see where they stand with the newly elected government.
"We too are counting numbers," said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). "We are looking for candidates who are truly winners, that is, those who have committed themselves to take a stand for life," he continued. "So far we are confident that we have a large number of returning pro-life MPs in both major parties and some new ones to work with as well."
"Before we can advance the common good, the fundamental respect for life must be present. All other issues pale in comparison to the protection of all human life," said Mary Ellen Douglas, CLC National Organizer.
Campaign Life Coalition calls on pro-life people in all ridings to "adopt their MP", pray for them, keep educating them on pro-life issues and keep in close contact between elections.
