Choosing life means protecting the smallest among us – the human embryo – who is part of the human family, who is one of us. Choosing life means supporting and being present to those who are disabled, elderly, ill or suffering. It also means respecting the life and dignity of those who are dying and accompanying themuntil the very end.”  See the full COLF letter online at:  https://www.cccb.ca/PublicStatements.htm?CD=&ID=1352   For all the details on the March for Life see:  https://www.lifesitenews.com/events/Marchforlife/2003/index.html
