40 Days for Life September 28, 2023

Pat Helena Richard

40 Days for Life - Fall of 2023

When I arrived at the corner of Bank and Sparks today at approximately 3:30, Helena and Richard were quietly praying. God bless the two of them.

We pray for all who are affected by abortion: The babies who die, their mothers and fathers and extended families, For the doctors and nurses our government leaders who are complicit for....... Lots of prayers are needed!!!

Pat arrived around 3:45. Helena and Richard left at 4, and Pat and I said a few prayers till about 5:00 at which time we left to meet up with Barb for supper at the Royal Oak on Kent Street

We said a few prayers

I still haven't been able to figure out my video settings. It's kind of washed out grr!

Thank you, God, for everything.

Ontario MPPs pass anti-free speech bubble zones

October 25, 2017

Toronto, Oct 25, 2017 – Campaign Life Coalition condemns members of the Ontario Legislature for passing Bill 163, An Act to enact the Safe Access to Abortion Services Act, 2017 by an 86-1 vote. Campaign Life Coalition will pursue, if necessary, a challenge through the legal system to overturn this totalitarian law which directly attacks the freedom of speech, expression and assembly of Ontarians, and prevents pregnant women from having access to alternatives to abortion.
“This law, which was drafted by Planned Parenthood and their allies in the abortion business, using feeling-based anecdotes and hearsays, lacked any real evidence that backed their claims of the war-like atmosphere outside abortion facilities,” said Jim Hughes, national president of Campaign Life Coalition. “This law is the first step in silencing and criminalizing speech that is not the official opinion of the state. The whole process of fast-tracking this bill, and slandering pro-life people throughout, was a shame.”
“This law proves that the Wynne government and the fake opposition is kowtowing to Planned Parenthood,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, Ontario President, Campaign Life Coalition. “Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women and now this law will prevent women from receiving help and support from people who care deeply about the best outcome for both mother and child, something Planned Parenthood doesn’t care about.”
Leading up to this bill, Campaign Life Coalition attended consultations with the Attorney General, presented at the committee hearing, and delivered thousands of signed petitions against Bill 163. During third reading, MPP Yasir Naqvi suggested that all 17 speakers at committee hearings “confirmed for us that we struck the right balance." In fact, almost half of the speakers opposed this bill entirely. Additionally, during the same reading, MPP Lisa Maclead defamed pro-life people, claiming that they just want to harass vulnerable women.
