Marching For Life
They showed up on Parliament Hill Thursday by the thousands, politically incorrect and marching for life. The media ignored them, as pretty much happens every year. The annual National March For Life is the biggest demonstration in Ottawa each year. The cause, rights for unborn children, is not fashionable. That so many of the demonstrators […]
Second Thursday In May
Each year there is a pro-life rally on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to bring attention to Canda’s lack of abortion laws. I think that this year the rally will take place in person once more, after two years of pandemic restrictions. I won’t be in town, so I can’t check it out. Instead, these thoughts […]
Virtually Marching For Life
Canada’s federal politicians are ecstatic Parliament is not meeting in Ottawa today. The second Thursday of May is the day they most dread. In ordinary times the annual March For Life would wind through Ottawa’s streets to Parliament Hill this afternoon. There would be at least 20,000 people calling politicians to account on Canada’s lack […]
That Time Again
It is the second Thursday in May, which means the annual March For Life should be taking place on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill this afternoon. Since I now life in Germany, I won’t be there to see it. It is usually the biggest protest of the year in Ottawa. And it is usually almost entirely ignored […]
Marching For Life
It was about halfway through the day Thursday that I remembered it was the day of the annual March For Life on Parliament Hill. Not being in Ottawa this year it had totally slipped my mind, despite it being the biggest gathering of demonstrators all year. I won’t get into Canada’s lack or abortion laws, […]
March For Life 2017 – III
The annual March For Life received more media attention than usual this year. Normally the media ignores the event completely. Thursday though there was a tempest in the Ottawa teapot. A pro-life flag was raised over Ottawa City Hall. It was quickly removed. Accusations were hurled. The Mayor was blamed (he’s pro-choice and says he […]
March For Life 2017 – II
I had this nagging feeling I shouldn’t accept the request to speak to the seniors’ group at church on May 11, but I couldn’t remember why. So I said yes. That was yesterday, the day of the annual March For Life. Because I was speaking in the late morning I didn’t get downtown until after […]
March For Life 2017
They are going to be on Parliament Hill this afternoon, thousands of people with a cause trying to make their voices heard. For the most part, what they are saying will fall on deaf ears. Today is the annual March For Life, a celebration of humanity and a rejection of abortion and euthanasia. It is […]
March For Life III – The Protest
If I didn’t have experience in the matter I would have thought the media was just trying to be fair, to provide some balance. That I have found is highly unlikely when it comes to the emotionally charged issue of abortion. There were thousands of people on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill Thursday as the pro-life movement […]
March For Life II – The 2015 Event
I dropped by the lawn of Parliament Hill very briefly Thursday afternoon to check out part of the 2015 March For Life. I have some thoughts on the subject that i am going to share in a couple of subsequent posts, but for today I thought I would let the pictures do the talking. […]
