The statues of Truth and Justice no longer grace the front entrance of the Supreme Court of Canada building in Ottawa. They have been taken away for refurbishing and repair. Their absence was felt to be entirely appropriate by the pro-lifers who gathered there on January 28 to mark the anniversary of the Court’s decision striking down Canada’s abortion law.
The rally was sponsored by Human Life International and was attended by about 1,000 pro-lifers from across Canada. Following a bilingual address by several speakers at the Supreme Court building, pro-lifers marched the two blocks to Parliament Hill for further speeches from pro-life and religious leaders.
All those who spoke were unanimous in calling upon the government to swiftly enact abortion legislation protecting all unborn children, without exception.
Later that evening, Professor Charles Rice of the U.S. was the guest speaker at a fundraising dinner for Human Life International.
