OTTAWA, April 10, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – There are only 34 days remaining until the National March for Life in Ottawa. Organizers are asking pro-life Canadians to make plans NOW to attend this important, national event.
Pro-life Members of Parliament are said to always receive a deeply appreciated boost from the visible presence of the marchers on the Hill. The March events provide them with special, if not essential encouragement to persevere in their difficult battles, such as those on Bill C-13 and other life and family issues currently before the House.
Organizers emphasize that Parliament, the Senate and all Canadians must not be allowed to ignore the devastation that the passage that the May 14, 1969 Omnibus Bill has brought to our nation.
International Right to Life President Dr. Jack Willke will be the keynote speaker at the Wednesday night March for Life banquet.
