OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — Thousands of Canadians are gathering today in the capital for the annual March for Life to call for an end to abortion, which has taken 5 million lives in Canada since becoming legal, and demand respect for life from conception to natural death.
The 29th annual March for Life is being held on Parliament Hill, Ottawa, with the rally starting at 12:30 p.m. EDT, with a range of leading pro-life speakers. Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) is organizing the event.
Here’s a wonderful recap of the day:
