HAMILTON, ON, Apr 30, 2001 (LSN.ca) – Pro-lifers are staging a “welcome” for former US President Bill Clinton, as he comes to speak at a fundraiser for a Catholic hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. The peaceful protest will take place on Wednesday, May 2nd from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Carmen’s Banquet Centre at 1520 Stonechurch Rd. E. where ‘abortion-president’ Clinton is scheduled to speak.

The announcement that Clinton was coming to Canada to speak at a fundraiser for St. Joseph’s Hospital was responded to with protest from pro-lifers scandalized that the President who twice vetoed bans on partial-birth abortion would be allowed to speak for a Catholic institution. While the Sisters of St. Joseph who run the hospital did not object to Clinton’s speaking engagement, Hamilton Bishop Anthony Tonnos was reported as saying he refused to attend the event.
