Over 300 people came today to the Legislature building in Fredericton to speak up for the unborn children's right to life. The New Brunswick March For Life was held in conjunction with the
National March For Life in Ottawa. It attracted participants from all across the province. People were coming even from as far as Bathurst and Miramichi, let alone Saint John and Moncton. Despite the long drive for many of us, we gathered together by the New Brunswick Legislature to rise our voices in defence of the silent victims - the unborn children.
About 1000 abortions are performed in New Brunswick each year. That's a lot for a province that has less population than the city of Ottawa. The Morgentaller's clinic in Fredericton is responsible for roughly 600 abortions a year. Another 400 are performed in the hospitals, guised under the well watered-down rules of medical necessity even though mother's life is almost never under threat and absolutely no attempts are made to save the life of a child. Those 400 abortions are paid for with our tax dollars.
To make things worse, the pro-abortion activists with Morgentaller among them are suing the province. The activists want even those watered-down restrictions on abortions lifted and abortions on demand - publicly funded. Morgentaller is looking forward for more "clients" once the courts force the province to assume the cost of abortions on demand. The hearing of a lawsuit will commence next week. We came to the Legislature to encourage the lawmakers not to give up the fight.
There were as many as 16 MLAs (out of 55), Liberals and Conservatives watching our rally at the gates of the Legislature building. Lawmakers from both parties were among the speakers, pledging support for fetal rights and calling on their fellow MLAs to form a united pro-Life caucus in the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. Even the delegates from the unions who came to meet the MLAs for their own reasons were sympathetic to our cause.
The rally at the Legislature lasted about an hour. 100 roses were laid by the Legislative Assembly building, commemorating 1000 unborn children that were denied the right to life during the past year. After that we marched through downtown Fredericton to the Mother And Child Welcome Centre. The Morgentaller's clinic is located right next to it. Few cars were in their parking lot - apparently belonging to the managers of the facility where children are put to death. Just across the fence from them, hundreds of New Brunswickers, men and women, young and old stood together rallying for life.

Leonid.....fantastic reporting.
Mario & i were in Ottawa "s march & then drove to Toronto. To our total disbelief... C.B.C. news @ 11pm reported " that 15oo protesters marched ------when in reality.. there were 7,000 of us.. The predicted rain never materialized...& many many more young people this year.
The " Silent No More" group"s sharings were most moving & should be heard by the pro-choice individuals ,if they really think----that there is no after effects to ABORTION.
Mario & Rosalie
