National March for Life to take place today on Parliament Hill

Ottawa, May 13, 2021 – The National March for Life will take place on Parliament Hill today at 12:30pm in a scaled-down rally against government-sanctioned abortion-on-demand and euthanasia. A group of organizers and local grassroots intent on attending will march to demand legal protection for every human being from conception to natural death. The March will begin at 1:15pm.

“The National March for Life, at its core, is a protest against the greatest human rights injustice of our age. Because of the urgency and importance of life issues like abortion and euthanasia, we have a duty to hold our legislators to account,” said Debbie Duval, National Capital Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. “The law must protect life, not sanction its termination.”

Each day, almost 300 Canadian women undergo an abortion, in which a baby is killed before birth through surgical or chemical means. That same day, more than 15 vulnerable Canadians are killed by euthanasia or assisted suicide.

“Although the march will be much smaller this year, we believe it is important for a core group of representatives to bring the concerns of many Canadians to the steps of our Parliament,” said Jeff Gunnarson, President of Campaign Life Coalition. “Even during an ongoing pandemic, the federal government continues to increase abortion funding overseas, abortion is prioritized as an essential service by the federal and provincial governments, and a majority of our parliamentarians voted to expand euthanasia and assisted suicide, despite exposed cracks in our health care system. This cannot go unopposed.”
