TORONTO, May 15, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Peaceful pro-life advocate, Linda Gibbons, was arrested today for silently protesting at the Scott abortuary in Toronto. Gibbons, an experienced and well-known pro-Life activist, is not unfamiliar with the prison scene and the dealings with the law that may ensue.
Arriving in the morning, the veteran pro-life campaigner proceeded to dump roughly 100 headless plastic baby dolls on the steps of the center. Carrying a sign conveying the innocent love of a child, Gibbons silently paced back and forth in front of the mill, to the dismay of a female abortuary employee. The first police officers to arrive began to question Gibbons but gained no response. The agitated worker then invited the police into the mill after suggesting that an on-the-scene LifeSiteNews.com photographer should be prohibited from taking pictures.
After several minutes the police returned from the inside and continued to ask Gibbons to leave, but again, as is her custom Gibbons remained silent in solidarity with the silence of the unborn.
At approximately 10:00am the Sheriff arrived on the scene and had Gibbons placed in a cruiser after reading her the ‘bubble zone’ injunction, which confirms the existence of a sixty-foot area surrounding the abortion mill that prohibits pro-life activists from witnessing in close proximity to the abortuary.
Since her first arrest in 1994, shortly after the ‘bubble-zone’ court order, Gibbons has been arrested numerous times and has spent over 5 years in prison in defiance of abortion. Because of her dedication, she is known as nothing less then a hero among the pro-life movement and has inspired many to join the cause.
