Bloody, Cross-Country Anti-Abortion Protest Begins Activity at Vancouver

Alexander Moens, Simon Fraser University political science professor,

Shaw and Stephanie Gray of the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform.
WHEN: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 @ 12 noon
WHERE: Vancouver Art Gallery, 750 Hornby Street Vancouver
WHY: In 1970, abortion advocates travelled cross-country with the goals
of repealing Canada's Abortion Laws and obtaining free abortion on
demand. With the 1988 Supreme Court Morgentaler decision, they got what
they wanted. Now, 42 years later a new group of young people are rising
up to re-trace the steps of these women, except this time it's to undo
their bloody legacy.
