Archbishop J. Michael Miller of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vancouver endorses WeNeedaLAW.ca<\/h4>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Surrey, B.C. May 15, 2012 – Archbishop J. Michael Miller of the Archdiocese of Vancouver gave a strong endorsement for  weneedaLAW.ca. <\/a>on Wednesday morning. <\/span><\/p>\n

In an email to Campaign Director, Mike Schouten, Archbishop Miller said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCanada does need a law, and this initiative is a helpful first step toward correcting an unacceptable legislative void that is unique among democratic nations. I encourage Canadians to support it and pray for its success.\u201d <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“<\/span><\/i>We are incredibly pleased and grateful for Archbishop Miller’s unequivocal support for our mission”, said Schouten. “We know that our efforts to re-frame this debate have been the cause for some pushback, but it is exciting to see it resonate with the Archbishop.” <\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

The mission of the weneedaLAW.ca<\/a>  campaign is to build support for federal legislation that restricts abortion to the greatest extent possible. <\/span><\/p>\n

“Protection for all children in the womb is our goal, and we know the only way that will happen is by taking the numerous steps required. <\/span>It’s unrealistic to demand that, as a first step, those in government enact a complete ban on all abortions.” Schouten said. <\/span><\/p>\n

Schouten concluded by saying, “Archbishop Miller’s endorsement of this fresh approach is a huge boost in the initial stages of our campaign!”<\/span><\/p>\n
