There were about 80 people; the organizers suggested that we could have done better - still, that was twice the last year's turnout. We were across the street from the busy Champlain mall and I could count only 3 drivers that were not sympathetic. The rest - many were honking, others were showing thumbs up; I could see some passengers waving to us from their seats. Life Chain is not a "protest", but a silent witness. I see it as 60 minutes of silence in the memory of babies who weren't allowed to see daylight. There were over 180 Life Chains held in Canada alone. Every major city in every province had one, sometimes - at several locations. Were there enough of us to honor each one of the 3 million babies lost to abortion with a "personal" minute of silence? Did the total number of participants amount to 50,000? If not - that must be our goal for next year's Life Chain.
