My letter to Mayor Jim Watson

Here is a copy of the document  which prompted Mayor Jim Watson to remove the Pro Life flag at City Hall on May 11, the day of the National March for Life .  Even though this document is a lie,  unbelievably  it was signed by 7 councillors before being  presented  to the mayor. Actually, maybe it’s not so unbelievable since so many of our political  leaders don’t seem to care about truth anymore .  We see it everywhere  and in all levels of government .

 

My letter to the Mayor

May 13, 2017

Dear Mr Watson,

I was very disappointed when you felt you had to apologize for the Pro Life flag being raised at City Hall. You said people complained about it.  Does this mean that if I have a problem with a particular flag that, I can complain about it and you will bring it down ?

Many Canadians believe that there should be restrictions on abortion and a majority of young Canadians say abortions should not be legal after 12 weeks gestation.  This is according to the findings of an Environics poll commissioned in 2013  by Life Canada, the national educational pro-life organization https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/poll-young-canadians-want-to-restrict-abortion-to-12-weeks

I’m sure  Mr. Watson that you are aware that the unborn child is able to feel pain at around 20 weeks gestation . Obviously you are ok with that as well. http://www.gargaro.com/fetalpain.html

  https://www.physiciansforlife.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Fetal-Pain.pdf( the different  methods of abortion are very cruel. I won’t provide links. I think you have an idea )

For the record, would you kindly refer to us as Pro Life?  Thank you.  We believe in the dignity and sanctity of all human life whether born or preborn, regardless of age, sex, race or creed . We are Pro Life!

Currently in Canada the law is that it is ok to kill a child in the womb up until the moment of birth. Obviously you and the 7 councillors are ok with this.

You talk about a woman’s right to choose, which in itself is false because there is no such right to have an abortion in Canada.  But I’m sure you know that too. http://www.morgentalerdecision.ca/1988-decision// If a woman chooses to have a baby and her unborn child is killed through violence  from a spouse or a boyfriend then her right to choose to have her child  has been taken away from her and you’re ok with that?  Well it seems you are. .

And if a woman is coerced into having an abortion by a boyfriend, relative or whomever, well you’re obviously ok with that as well. And what about sex selection abortion, do you think that’s ok too?

You see Mr.Watson, pro life MP’s  have been working tirelessly on Bills and Motions that would help prevent these atrocities but every step of the way people like yourself have thwarted these efforts even though millions of  Canadians want some restrictions on abortion. And many more Canadians I am sure, would want restrictions on abortions too,  if they knew the truth about abortion which sadly is being kept from them by media bias not to mention some of our Government leaders. I don’t know how many times I have heard the lie from our leaders that it is a woman’s right to choose.  

I think your time spent lowering the flag would have been better spent ensuring that the 14,000  peaceful Marchers were permitted to take the designated, approved, March for Life route which goes by the human Rights Monument .It seems that there were as many police as there were  rowdy vulgar protesters who were there preventing us from passing the Monument . Mr Watson, this was a violation of our right to hold a peaceful, approved demonstration.

In closing, The Right to Life is the first of all human rights.  Without the right to life there can be no other rights
