"We want women who face unplanned pregnancies to know that abortion shouldn't be their only choice. We want those who work in the abortion industry to leave their jobs, and for doctors to stop committing abortions, and prescribing deadly chemical abortions." -Matt Wojciechowski, vice president of Campaign Life Coalition

But as well as mourning the four million unborn children killed by abortion in those five decades, pro-life advocates are looking ahead to Canada's federal election five months away.

Ousting Justin Trudeau and his Liberals and electing pro-life politicians in their place on October 21 would be a significant victory for life and family advocates.

Ironically, Canada's half-century of legal abortion is bookended by the Trudeau father-and-son team.

Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brought in abortion with the Liberal omnibus bill of May 14, 1969. His eldest son and current prime minister is infamous for making the promotion of abortion "rights"—and LGBTQ "rights"—the cornerstone of his government's foreign and domestic policy.

Some of Trudeau's more notorious anti-life measures include requiring employers sign a pro-abortion attestation to receive Canada Summer Job grants; earmarking $650 million to promote abortion overseas; and earlier in his career decreeing that individuals with pro-life convictions could not run for the Liberal Party.

"Some in Parliament, from both sides of the aisle, including our prime minister, claim that abortion is a human right," says Matt Wojciechowski, vice president of Campaign Life Coalition.

"This is a lie. The killing of a child in the womb is not a right and no one has the right to kill another human being," Wojciechowski said at a press conference yesterday kicking off the three-day event.
