Abortion doesn't solve anything

Tomorrow I leave for Poland so I won't be blogging for a while.

There was one more video I hesitated in posting from the March for Life, and ultimately decided not to. It was of a young "pro-choice" woman who was screaming at us. She seemed really really angry at us.

It made me pause and wonder. Why would she be so upset with us? We haven't done anything to her. She still has unfettered access to abortion. Abortions are still funded by the Canadian taxpayer including me. And I don't have any "choice" in saying I don't want to fund abortion. This young woman can obtain an abortion anytime she wants. So what does this rude lashing out behaviour mean?

Obviously I have no idea, but if I had to guess, I'd say she's had an abortion herself. And she needs to justify it to herself, and to everyone else. I think she especially needs to justify herself to pro-life people.

I felt very very sad for her. I hope if she has had an abortion, she will eventually heal from it. I think she needs our prayers.

In any event. Off to Poland. Where they aren't in love with abortion. Like Canada is.

Justin Trudeau will just have to do without me while I'm gone. But never fear. I'll be back.

Future candidates for the Federal Liberal party of Canada

More from the March for Life yesterday.

Notice how some don't even have the courage to show their faces. Are they ashamed of what they're doing?

They blocked our path so we forced had to go to the other side of the road. The policeman told me to be careful since the traffic hadn't been stopped in that direction (you can hear him).

And they say pro-lifers are violent.

Educating Justin

The March for Life in Ottawa today was a huge success. I'm posting a few pictures below.

And I have a message for Justin Trudeau who told us yesterday that about how he won't allow pro-life candidates to run in the next election:

"We make sure that the people who are stepping forward are consistent with the Liberal Party as it is now, as it stands under my leadership and under the feedback we're getting from Canadians across the country."

What feedback is Trudeau talking about? Was it from the full house at St. Pat's Basilica in Ottawa this morning who were there to pray for an end to abortion in Canada? Or was it from the other full houses from the other Churches today? Or was it from the thousands and thousands of marchers we saw in Ottawa today, who took more than an hour to wind there way through downtown Ottawa?

Or was he talking about the handful of noisy protesters who stood chanting their pro-abortion nonsense slogans across the street from the Human Rights monument? Are those the people Mr. Trudeau was talking about? Are they the ones he is listening to?

Here's a thought that Mr. Trudeau might want to think about. And the rest of us too.

What would Mr. Trudeau think, if the leader of another party proclaimed that henceforth, candidates eligible to run in elections must be pro-life? That only those people could run for election? How would that sit with Mr. Trudeau?

In fact has Mr. Trudeau ever heard of our Charter of Rights and Freedoms? You know, that quaint thing his father was kind of involved in? It guarantees freedom of conscience and religion; freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression.

Maybe somebody should tell him about it.

(I hope to have some video footage later from my sister Maureen who will be putting it together for me.)

Entrance into St. Patrick's Basilica. Cardinal Collins presided. The Church was so full that people were standing. There was also spill over into the basement.

It should not be a right to kill a human being

Listen to Father Dennis's homily from today. A beautiful testament to the pro-life cause.

"Abortion is really a terrible thing for men and women. It should not be a right to kill a human being. But why don't they see it? Because it's about freedom. And they prefer the darkness to the light."

The March for Life is tomorrow. I'll be there.

Cardinal Collins: limit abortion bit by bit

Thursday May 8, 2014 this week will be the annual March for Life.

Last year I wasn't at the March as I was out of the country. So I didn't hear Cardinal Collins homily at St. Patrick's basilica in Ottawa.

My sister taped it though and here is the link.

He advised us to do what we can to limit the evil, bit by bit. To fight for legal limits on abortion one step at a time, since we may not be able to accomplish it all at once.

"...We need to think clearly. We reflect upon how we best can be faithful in proclaiming the Gospel of Life. It's not enough simply to proclaim the Gospel of Life. That's necessary but it's not sufficient. We need to do it faithfully and effectively. We need to look to ways we can creatively help those people who cannot see the value of human life from conception 'til natural death. How can we help people see the truth? We have to look at ways, for example that we can find in the bills of Parliament, that we can limit abortion...more that's good...and then more that's better....then even more, that's better...we may not be able to do it all at once now, but it is far better to limit it, limit it, limit it, persistently, rather than say unless we can do it totally now, like that, we won't do it at all, we'll wait 'til we can do it perfectly.. God expects of us that we will think it through, not for our sake but for the sake of the people we serve."

Cardinal Collins is pretty clear that abortion incrementalism is how we accomplish fighting the evil that is abortion.
