28 , 2003 Statistics Canada today released information that 105,427 babies were deliberately killed in their mothers’ wombs in the year 2000 in Canada. This death toll is added to the two million slaughtered since 1969. “The magnitude of this atrocity appears to be lost on the average person in Canada,” said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition (CLC). “Our federal leaders try to brag about their human rights record in Canada and abroad, while they ignore the mounting death toll that they have refused to stop here at home,” he continued. “Prime Minister Jean Chretien’s legacy for Canada is the death of two million unborn Canadians. The present and future generations of Canadians have been eliminated by his governments. Some legacy!” “Statistics are cold numbers but each one of these precious babies before birth are human beings who were systematically dismembered by doctors and this was paid for by the taxpayers,” said Mary Ellen Douglas, National Organizer of Campaign Life Coalition. “The death of each of these babies has been recorded in the Book of Life long before they were counted by StatCan,” she said. “As a young woman in my child-bearing years, it saddens me to see my peers hurting themselves and their children at such an incredible rate. Abortion has been linked to breast cancer, future infertility and psychological disorders. Why aren’t the doctors and the government telling us about these things?” said Gillian Long of Campaign Life Coalition. Campaign Life Coalition calls on the federal government to enact legislation to protect the right to live for all Canadians from conception (fertilization) until natural death as they were directed by the Supreme Court in 1988.
