2019 marks 50 years of abortion-on-demand in Canada, according to the March for Life Canada. The 22nd annual National March for Life will take place on May 9, 2019, at Parliament Hill in Ottawa with a rally beginning at 12:30 pm.
“We march in memory of the 4 million + children killed before birth by abortion since 1969, the year former Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau passed an omnibus bill decriminalizing abortion,” said the March for Life website.
The Rally on the Hill starts at 12:30 after the Peace Tower Carillon’s daily performance and will wrap up at 1:30 pm for the March to begin. After the March, the March for Life band will perform, followed by testimonies from women and men from the Silent No More Awareness Campaign — post-abortive parents who want to share the devastating truth of the pain abortion has caused them.
The lineup of speakers for this year’s March includes Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer, the producers of the film “Gosnell – The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer,” who will be speaking at Rose Dinner. In addition, Abby Johnson, former Planned Parenthood director, and founder of And Then There Were None, will be speaking. The MC’s for the rally are CLC Youth Coordinator Marie-Claire Bissonnette and LIfeSiteNews.com founder and editor-in-chief John-Henry Westen.
