Imagine so many lives, so many names, so many sons, so many daughters, so many neighbours disappearing. Imagine our country losing so many innocent people so senselessly. Imagine all of Canada losing all its people in Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton. Imagine Canada losing 4 million people.
Except, you don’t have to imagine it. It’s already happened.
This week marks the 50th anniversary of the week abortion became legal in Canada. And since then, 4 million Canadians have dissapeared. Do you know that? Do you care?
But abortion doesn’t make unplanned pregnanies disappear. Abortion doesn’t make problems dissapear. Abortion doesn’t make people disappear. Abortion kills babies. Abortion kills innocent people. Abortion decapitates and disembowells little babies.
When you think about what abortion has done to Canada, when you think about the number of babies killed by abortion, when you think about all the people we’ve lost since abortion became legal in Canada, think about Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton disappearing.
In Canada, abortion has killed more babies than the entire population of Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton combined. Abortion has killed over 4 million people in Canada since it became legal in our country 50 years ago.
What will the next 50 years look like? How many more neighbours are we going to lose because of abortion over the next 50 years? I don’t know. But I care.
I want to prevent more people from disappearing. I do not want another 4 million people in our country disappearing over the next 50 years. I am committed to doing my part to help make abortion unthinkable in Canada. And I think you should consider doing the same.
