Toronto March of Women pamphlet highlights abortion/lesbian demands
TORONTO, Sept 12 (LSN.ca) - One of the feared outcomes of the support by Catholic leaders of the pro-abortion World March of Women 2000 has been realized.
The Toronto Organizing Committee of the World March of Women has been distributing a pamphlet on the March called "Women are marching." The pamphlet notes that "the cuts to social programs have ... jeopardized access to safe legal abortion." Listed under "the Toronto World March Organizing Committee demands:" are four requests two of which read: "No roll back of reproductive rights. We support a woman's right to chose on abortion and full access to free abortion" and "Full rights for lesbians."
The pamphlet was being distributed recently at the Canada Pavilion at the Canadian National Exhibition. Pro-lifer Christine Majta received the pamphlet at the March of Women table. Ms. Majta informed LifeSite she was told by one of the women that the Catholic Church supported the March and was handed material saying the "Canadian Catholic Bishops Respond Pro March!"
The material lists in large bold type the names of Bishop John Sherlock of London, Archbishop Marcel Gervais of Ottawa, Bishop Fred Henry of Calgary, and Bishop Gerald Weisner, president of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. It also quotes Bishop Sherlock's attack on pro-lifers: "If pro-life people had their way, we would all be living in a ghetto and crying about how unclean the rest of the world is." Another article by Bishop Weisner in support of the March is also featured in the handout.
