GUELPH, March 27, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two pro-life advertisements on city buses in Guelph, Ontario were vandalized last week. The ads, depicting a 19-week-old fetus with the caption "this is a child not a choice" and offering the phone number of a local crisis pregnancy centre, were defaced with black spray-paint. The phone number was blotted out and the word "CHOICE" was sprawled over the ad.
The board of Guelph and Area Right to Life association was saddened by the vandalism. "We are not surprised, however," association president Jakki Jeffs said, "those who say they support 'choice' have consistently shown their flagrant disregard for anyone who disagrees with them."
Jeffs told LifeSiteNews.com that a pro-abortion group from the University of Guelph attempted to stop the pro-life group from being allowed to advertise on public buses some years ago. The group's offices were also vandalized with spray paint a couple of years ago. However, "things have been quiet since then," she said.
"This vandalism is just another example of the intolerant, bullying and anarchic attitude of choice supporters and their disrespect for other points of view," said Jeffs. "They realise that as Canada becomes less and less tolerant of all forms of violence in other areas of life - the days when abortion is supported as a choice are numbered."
"We will raise more funds to replace our advertisements and continue to work for the day when unborn Canadians and their mothers are protected and supported and not abandoned to the barbaric procedure of abortion."
