SASKATOON, Saskatchewan, June 8, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – After launching the “New Abortion Caravan” last week from the Vancouver Art Gallery, a large group of anti-abortion youth activists with the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform is heading to Saskatoon after passing through Chilliwack, Kelowna and Edmonton.
Pro-choice advocates have already been responding to the New Abortion Caravan as it makes its way across the country to Ottawa, with one member of the original 1970 Abortion Caravan calling the pro-life hijacking of the project “horrifying,” while counter-protestors have employed a variety of tactics to throw the pro-life activists off message.
“Clearly, abortion advocates realize that we’ve hit upon tactics that have always been successful when employed by social reform movements,” said Stephanie Gray, CCBR’s executive director. “It took the pro-abortion movement 18 years from the 1970 Caravan to achieve free abortion on demand. We plan to turn this thing around, and we will do it using historically proven tactics and an unstoppable team of young people that keeps growing.”
The group plans to run huge, box-bodied trucks through Saskatoon featuring bloody images of aborted fetuses that are seven feet tall and twenty feet long, while youth activists hit the streets displaying graphic hand-held signs and circulating thousands of graphic postcards depicting abortions into Saskatoon mailboxes.
“Canada has been tolerating abortion because she has not been forced to confront the reality of what it is,” said Gray. “Our projects are forcing Canadians from Vancouver to Ottawa to realize that we are miserably failing the most vulnerable of all Canadians: pre-born children in the womb.”
