The walk marked the anniversary of the repeal of the Canadian abor- tion law following a Supreme Court decision on Jan. 28, 1988. by Pam Whitaker Each walker carried a lighted candle signifying ‘the flame of life’. The statement they were making, according to Terrace Pro-Life Education Association president Marion Schlegel, is that those opposed to abortion are still standing firmly against compromise in the making of a new federal law to protect un- born Canadians. The general consensus is the Pro-Life camp is that the proposed Bill C-43 does not go far enough. They believe that even though abor- tion would be put back under the Criminal Code, the need for an abortion because of the woman’s ‘health?’ will be too loosely interpreted. Before the walk began, par- ticipants met for an ecumenical prayer meeting in the sanctuary of the Zion Baptist Church at 2911 Sparks St. Then the men, women and children slogged almost single file along the un- ploughed overpass sidewalk car- rying two large signs. One said “keep the flame alive’* and the other read ‘Mr. Fulton, vote life — save the babies’’. After they arrived in front of | Fulton’s office a speech was given by Donald Coburn. He | pointed out that ‘little ones’ (Greek origin of the word ‘fetus’) early on in gestation have been proven by ‘medical science to feel pain. and that abortion can hurt the woman both physically and mentally as well. - | “Studies show that women ex- perience side effects related to abortion, of which two percent” are major,’” he said, ‘‘These in- clude subsequent premature bir- _ ths, increased incidence of mis- carriage and ectopic pregnan- cies. Mentally, post abortion syndrome may develop, with depression, guilt, anger or broken relationships.’ . ” He ended his speech exhorting: Jim Fulton to vote against Bill 9 C-43,. “Furthermore, we want S=-= him to work towards the benefit for the women in our society who need support during preg- nancy,” he said. After the speech the crowd moved on to Some midnight vandals left Jo Buck with a major cle the Happy Gang Centre, which council office.
