Memorial Being Planned for Canada’s Unborn

MyCanada is working with supporters to install a national monument to Canada’s unborn children. The bronze sculpture, created by Canadian-born artist Timothy Schmaltz, features an angel weeping over an empty crib. Titled “I Knew You in the Womb”, this will be a beautiful testimony to the value of the unborn. The organization hopes it “will also be a place for Canadians to pray, mourn and pay their respects to the deceased unborn.”

A $10,000 deposit was needed by July 1st, and that need was met and exceeded, bringing this dream closer to a reality! A significant amount more is still needed to complete the project, so we share this with you today in case any of you would also like to be financially involved in making this happen, and every small amount helps. MyCanada is an organization we have great respect for, and all the financial details (where the money goes and how it is collected) along with their contact information is detailed in their information below:

Online abortion memorial in its second year

Our campaign exists to bring awareness of the lack of protection for pre-born children, but there are more lives affected by abortion than that of the child. When a woman decides to have an abortion she may have made the decision jointly with her partner, or she may have made it on her own, she may have been coerced into it, or she may have believed that it was nothing more than another medical procedure.

We certainly need laws to protect pre-born children, but what about the countless others – women, men, siblings, grandparents, and the list goes on – of those affected by abortion.

The non-profit, onlineforlife.org launched the website www.AbortionMemorial.com in May, 2013. According to co-founder and president of onlineforlife.org, the abortion memorial was “inspired by the National Memorial for the Unborn in Chattanooga, Tennessee. That physical memorial and chapel is simple, quiet, and serene. It’s also very moving. With AbortionMemorial.com, we attempted to provide the same sort of environment virtually. It’s meant to purely be a place of healing and comfort – the kind of comfort we can only receive from others who share our experiences.”

We encourage you to visit www.AbortionMemorial.com, you will be moved. Whether you have personally experienced an abortion, know someone who has or simply believe that abortion is the premature ending of a child’s life, this site is powerful and beautiful. The testimonials are as unique as the person writing them. With more than 260 memorials posted to date there are lengthy entries, there are ones with just a baby’s name, some are accompanied by photos but they all share one thing in common: grief of a life (or lives) lost due to abortion.

Abortion memorial set up in Elgin County, ON

Roadside memorials are commonplace alongside many thoroughfares in Canada. They serve as respectful reminders of people who once were alive, and are now gone.

Last week a local group in Elgin County, ON set up a massive memorial along Hwy. 3 just outside of Aylmer. The hay bales and crosses are accompanied by signs from WeNeedaLAW.ca and ARPA Oxford. There are also pictures of a pre-born child in utero and a Scripture quote from Psalm 139. Each of the 100 crosses represents one thousand lives lost to abortion in Canada every year.

We applaud ARPA Oxford for this initiative. As a nation we are more and more recognizing that abortion is an injustice against vulnerable members of the human family and something needs to be done about Canada’s lack of protection for pre-born children at any stage of development.

It is our hope that this large memorial serves to educate the community at large of what is the greatest human rights violation of our current time.

We have to stand up against this!

It was the last day of summer, but don’t tell that to the sixty youth who gathered in the cold and drenching downpour on Saturday afternoon to silently protest Canada’s lack of abortion laws. They came with crosses and signs, umbrellas and rain jackets, to witness for Canada’s pre-born children. According to one of the parent organizers, they gathered at three separate locations in the Niagara region: Seaway Mall in Welland, Penn Center in St. Catherines, and in downtown Grimsby.

The large group spent an hour at each location in what they referred to as a ‘Living Abortion Memorial’. The event was organized by ARPA (Association for Reformed Political Action) Niagara. Youth in the area “wanted to do something about abortion”, said Ralph Vis of ARPA Niagara. “The living abortion memorial gave them the opportunity to be the voice they want to be,” said Vis. Last fall, the ARPA group set up a fixed abortion memorial consisting of hay bales and crosses. This year they wanted to bring the truth about abortion to the public in a different way. In total, the group held 100 white crosses and many of the participants held signs which read, “Each cross represents 1000 unborn children aborted every year in Canada” and “We Need a LAW”.

When asked why she was part of Saturday’s protest, Veronica DeBoer said, “In Canada there is absolutely no abortion laws. The day before your baby is due you can choose to abort. I want the public to be aware of this! We have to stand up against this!

We need to take a stand! Being at the pro-life cross-holding memorial helped bring awareness to the public because so many people don’t know that there are no abortion laws in Canada.”

Veronica is correct. Most Canadians incorrectly assume that Canada only allows abortions in the first trimester. The fact is that since the Supreme Court struck down the abortion law in 1988, Canada has been without any protection for pre-born children.

We commend these young Canadians and the parent volunteers for staging this event. History is on your side! The more that Canadians are exposed to the injustice of abortion and the myths surrounding it, the less it will be tolerated.
