New Brunswick March For Life 2010

The New Brunswick legislature has been prorogued for the upcoming election and the building itself was under repairs. That however didn't stop over 300 concerned New Brunswickers from gathering at the legislature building to speak up for the voiceless unborn babies.

Our March coincided with the national March for Life in Ottawa and shared the same theme - Abortion is a crime against humanity. No, unlike what our opponents claim, we were there not to condemn the young women who seek abortions, but to condemn the system that allows abortions; to condemn the legal vacuum that allows every 4th baby in Canada to be brutally slaughtered before he gets a chance to take his first breath.


The Legislature wasn't in session, but MLAs from both major political parties came to our rally. Even the leader of the opposition took his time to pay us a brief visit. The Premier was unable to be there, but one of the Liberal MLAs who spoke at our rally greeted us on his behalf.

The politicians however had to brace themselves for some criticism. Yes, both major political parties in New Brunswick have taken a commendable stand against funding abortions on demand in Morgentaler's "clinic". But what about the same abortion on demand that are being performed in the province's hospitals at taxpayers' expense?

221 abortions took place in the George Dumont hospital in Moncton. 119 - in the Chaleur hospital in Bathurst. Could all of them be medically necessary - in a province with a population of 750,000? Is there be some extraordinary crisis in maternal health in those two hospitals? Or is it that a few doctors in those hospitals are abusing the system, taking advantage of the vague definition of "medical necessity" to perform abortions on demand? What do you think?

It's time to get abortion out of our hospitals.


The final part of our march was - laying roses at the abortion sites, in memory of the unborn babies that died there. 24 roses were taken to Moncton, to be laid at the George Dumont Hospital, each rose representing 10 unborn babies. 12 roses were taken to Bathurst, to be laid at the Chaleur hospital. And there was a large cross with 60 roses on it. That cross was laid at the wall of the Morgentaler's abortion "clinic" in Fredericton. Almost a 1000 babies a year - that's the gruesome toll of the abortion on demand in New Brunswick.
