40 Day Notes - Part 2: You Are Worth More Than Many Sparrows

Greenpeace is there to defend baby sparrows - we're here to defend baby humans. Here are few more 40 Day vigil notes from Rosalie:

Sunday, September 26^th - Day 5

Even the very hairs of your head are numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

(Matt: 10 30-31)

Doris has her prayer warriors at their post; even the little puppy {she is babysitting for the weekend} a bit of wind but the sunshine is very welcome. Praying is continuous, but distractions galore as the football game taking place at the new university stadium creates much car and pedestrian traffic. A gentleman drives his big motorbike very close by to say "I want to commend you people for what you are doing". The respect felt from most walkers in front and behind us -- came via their silence as they passed and then resumed chatter at a distance. One energetic young man skipped sideways close in front of 8 of us praying as he called out "choice choice choice".

6pm and Shane and Rebecca and their 2 girls, on their return trip to Fredericton from Halifax, join us for an hour of prayer. During that time, a bit of commotion when a young fellow comes behind us quite angry and loud. "You people and your signs made me miss my bus." He figured the bus driver mistook him for one of us and therefore did not stop. When he was offered a ride home by Shane he walked away still angry. That was the last bus of the day and so, a good 45 minute walk. Another one on foot; starts talking behind us and when we turn says "you must have conviction" and then he blesses himself and keeps walking.

Monday, September 27^th - Day 6

Communion with Christ gives us our strength, our joy, and our love

(Mother Theresa)

4 Degrees this morning in Moncton and we find 7 souls, warmly dressed and reverently praying at 7am. Mid-morning Melissa, pushing a rather large baby carriage says "I can leave these 2 with you for the day, if you want" - the most beautiful 8 month old girls, and the mother shares how they are a joy to care for.

By noon we are praying under a warm sun and even though our chart has no names for a few hours, lo and behold angels appear from nowhere just when we need them it seems. A car drives by slowly. You never know what to expect but just then the window comes down and the driver says "god bless you for what you are doing". The parking meter man is very kind and warns us ahead of time re his next round!!!!

Tuesday, September 28^th - Day 7

My power is made perfect in weakness

(2 Corinthians 12:9)

18 degrees and fine spitting rain. Thank you lord. Wonderful to see the knights praying with us. By 10-11 am, Rogersville and Miramichi people arrive and a few stay till 5pm. Many approval honks today. Do hope these folks will also be praying for an end to the holocaust.

We are really appreciating and making use of the pro-life rosary intentions that Suzanne put together so beautifully for us.

We'll never know if there has been an appointment cancelled, if any of the Moncton babies has been been saved from abortion. Even if one of those involved gets a change of heart and quits, we're unlikely to find out. Again, we walk by faith, not by site. We're out there, joining thousands of people around the globe in prayer to end abortion.

Moncton Life Chain

About 50 people joined the Life Chain in Moncton yesterday. The 40 Days for Life vigil too went uninterrupted, with 7 people praying at the George Dumont Hospital during the Life Chain hours.

This time we also had a few protesters; a group of some 5 or 6 pro-aborts (apparently the same folks that countered the 40 Days on Saturday,) stood at the entrance to the Champlain Mall parking lot. Ironically, I found it quite encouraging to see them there, because with all the honks and thumbs up that we were getting, it almost felt like we were preaching to the choir.

But, of course, it wasn't the case; even those who agree with us, often don't know the whole truth. Some of those to stopped to talk to us at the 40 Days or at the Life Chain were surprised to find out that there's no legal restriction on abortions in Canada; somehow there's a common belief that abortions are only allowed until 13-17 weeks.

Some didn't even know that the George Dumnot Hospital (a Catholic hospital, by the way,) performs abortions; that it's been responsible for at least 1 in 4 slaughtered New Brunswick babies for over 4 years now. So we're getting the message out, whether the pro-aborts like it or not.

40 Day Notes: The Privilege Of Working In Lord's Vineyard

Since our vigil is at the general hospital, we can't say if there were any babies saved; we walk by faith, not by site. And strong faith too, brings results.

Here are a few notes from the 40 Days for Life vigil:

Day 3. Friday, September 24^th.

Sr Cecile and Denis Laplante faithfully at the prayer site by 7am. It was raining lightly, but steadily this morning. It's a little more challenging, as the paperwork has to be protected and the noise factor with the traffic on wet pavement demands more concentration.

By 10am we have seven prayer warriors, all under umbrellas. A lady going for the bus, Charlene, comes over to us and shares her experience of 25yrs ago: choosing to give birth to a healthy boy and have him adopted. A beautiful story.

At 11am, 3 people from Fredericton join the ranks: Thaddee, Estelle and Regina. Wonderful reinforcement. This day was a good test for our endurance as the rain persisted till 7pm. Prayer spots were filled nonetheless and rosaries and quiet prayerss went heavenwards, for many causes but always keeping the baby in the womb at the top of the list.

A few people come over to offer coffee. It's a sacrifice to have to decline and think fasting. Thank you Lord for the privilege of working in your vineyard.

---

Day 4. Saturday, September 25^th.

Day starts with steady medium rainfall. We are still damp from yesterday. But the time slots fill and prayers are continuous, no one complains. Sr Marguerite and the Dionne's take their daily post valiantly.

By 10 am, sky clears up and street dries up a bit, but it's for the rest of the day. God is good. Many thumbs up and nods; mostly positive reaction. A few passers-by stop to discuss "What about rape"? Many taking a real good look and walking away pensive. May they be inspired to turn their hearts toward life giving, instead of taking life.

(Sent by Rosalie)

Way to go Moncton. Vigil keepers in many other cities have to endure harassment and intimidation from the pro-abortion activists of all stripes (from the facility owners to extreme leftists and anarchists). Even in Halifax, (just 300km away, but that's an NDP heartland of Atlantic Canada,) there was a couple of incidents when the police had to be called. Here, the response is much better and even those opposed to fetal rights are far more civilized.

And here are a few pictures from the first day of the 40 Days for Life vigil in Moncton.

40 Days for Life - Day 1

Yes, we got the 40 Days going and, what's most important, we got it going well. Overall, more than 30 people participated in the first day of our 40 Days for Life vigil. Those who had a hard time registering, simply showed up. We had more volunteers committing to certain hours every week and some even went as far as committing daily, for the rest of the 40 days. So hopefully, we can expect people to show up not just on the first day, but for the remaining 39 days as well.

As for the reaction of those who passed and drove by - it was mostly favorable. We got a lot more honks than gestures and angry remarks.

Finally - check out this article by Michael Coren. Yes, it's bad enough that the hospital where we pray performs some 240 abortions on demand a year, there are those who want the same treatment to be extended to the old, disabled and weak. Let's remember that as we pray for life. And please - spare an hour or two to come to our vigil and pray - that not only the George Dumont hospital, but also every other hospital across Canada once again starts honoring the right to life - from conception to natural death.

Launching 40 Days For Life In Moncton

Yes, it's happening! Moncton is joining over 240 cities in the US, Canada, Europe and Australia in a 40-day prayer for life. It wasn't easy to organize such an event in a small city like Moncton, but with the help of devoted volunteers from all across the province, we made it. Today was the launching ceremony.

We started with a gathering at St. Patric's family Centre. Soon we ran out of chairs - and of space. (Luckily, the room could be expanded.) Then, after a few short speeches and a prayer, we marched by the candlelight to the vigil site, where another prayer was said and a few songs were sung...

Tomorrow is the first day. Our vigil won't be 24/7, as it is in larger cities (including Ottawa,) but we'll make sure that it keeps going on for at least 12 hours a day, from 7am to 7pm, for the entire 40 days.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we have turned our backs on you and
your principles in your Word. We have allowed man to
usurp Your role as God over life and the number of
our days. But we come to you in brokenness and
repentance over our sin.

We cry out for Your mercy and ask you to remove the
scourge of abortion from our land.

Use us as your vessels, Lord, to bring the light of
Your Truth to our nation once again. Because of
Christ we pray, Amen.

40 Days For Life Is Coming To Moncton

Moncton Right To Life is working hard to make it happen this fall. New Brunswick Right to Life has already promised help, but most of the effort will have to come from the devoted volunteers here in Moncton. We're looking forward to have the vigil going for 12 hours a day, (most likely - from 7am to 7pm,) for the entire 40 days at the George Dumont Hospital, where about 240 babies a year die needlessly because of abortion.

Take a stand for life

While all aspects of 40 Days for Life are crucial in our effort to end abortion, the most visible component is the peaceful prayer vigil outside the local abortion (or Planned Parenthood) facility.

You can help make a life-saving impact by joining our local vigil at:

Dr Georges-L Dumont Regional Hospital
Moncton, New Brunswick.
(At Université Avenue, across the street from the main hospital entrance.)

The online schedule & registration form will be posted shortly. Meanwhile you can use the contact information, posted on the campaign (vigil) website.

And here's a short video about the 40 Days for Life vigil. (In French.)

We are not "dictating"

A letter to the editor by the Moncton Right to Life vice president, Cathy Jensen. Published in the "Forum" section of the Times and Transcript newspaper on Monday, June 7, 2010.

Letter had much irony

To The Editor:

I am writing in response to Annie Crawford-LeBlanc s letter on Friday.

I find her letter interesting, if not a bit ironic.

She starts out stating that she is "neither advocating nor discriminating against abortion," and then goes on, with an undertone of polite anger, to talk about how people have no place "dictating" a person's choice regarding abortion.

With this letter full of political "correctness," she equates the killing of an unborn child, to walking into a foreign country and dictating how that country should be run.

I see no comparison here.

I have been involved in the pro-life movement for years. While the media likes to paint a disturbing picture of the typical pro-lifer, "dictating" our views down the throats of many; we are, in actuality, quite a different ilk.

My pro-life engagements have involved peaceful prayer and witness, along with hundreds, at times thousands, of other supporters.

In exchange, I have been spat on, harassed, had coat hangers thrown at me, air horns blown in my face, coffee thrown at me, hand gestures, and been pushed — the list goes on.

Why do some people with a pro-choice view have such anger?

Contrary to what Ms. Crawford-LeBlanc states regarding science (she says it can support either side) I have yet to read any scientific document proving that there is no life within a child en utero! Please enlighten me!

I urge Ms. Crawford-LeBlanc, and any others, to go on You Tube and search for the documentary, "Silent Scream."

This is an actual ultrasound of an abortion being performed.

If you can watch this and not feel anything for the little, precious life, with an open-mouthed scream, begging for someone to protect them from their imminent death, then I really have no words.

I can only pray.

I pray for these babies, and for their moms, who make these difficult decisions and end up suffering the effects of abortion.

Cathy Jensen,

Riverview

New Brunswick March for Life 2010

Please join our Tenth Annual March for Life at the New Brunswick Legislature on May 13.

This event is held in conjunction with the National March for Life taking place on Parliament Hill in Ottawa and at legislatures across Canada. This year the theme is Abortion: Crime Against Humanity.

The killing of an innocent child is a crime against both God and humanity. Are not the people of God called to defend the innocent? That is what we do at our March. Over 1,000 innocent children are put to death in our own province each year, a large and apparently growing number with our own tax dollars, in our public hospitals. Is that not reason enough for us to clear our schedules and set aside this one day for life? If you have children, or grandchildren, why not give them a day off from school and bring them: their witness is invaluable!

In Fredericton last year over 400 were present, and 18 Members of the Legislature. The politicians look to the people for guidance. But they also count heads. Let’s give them lots of both! Please think of our event as a witness rather than a protest. We are witnessing to God’s undying love for every child and mother.

Alex Schadenberg Speaking In Halifax Nov.27 & 28.

Come And Learn about the Dangers of Euthanasia being proposed in our country!

Alex Schadenberg is the executive director of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition - Canada, the Chair of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition - He is on the forefront of the move to prevent the legalization of euthanasia in our country.

Alex will be speaking in Halifax on Nov 27 to the doctors and medical professionals on the topic of caring versus killing and on Nov 28 to the general public on the topics of euthanasia, assisted suicide and the new eugenics.

Because of Bill – C384 is currently before the Canadian Parliament these are extremely timely talks that everyone should hear.

It is particularly important that Alex will be speaking with just the health care professionals in one session.

We should ALL be informed on this topic and Alex's visit with us will give us an opportunity to do that.

The Friday evening talk on Nov 27 is at 7 pm, this is for medical personnel only.

The Sat talk is Nov 28 at 2 pm. This is for the general public.

Both talks will be at St. Thomas Aquinas Church Hall next to St. Thomas Aquinas Church 1725 Oxford St., Halifax, NS

40 Days For Life: Day 28 - More Lives Saved

At least one more baby has been saved. Possibly - two more women have reconsidered:

Day 28: God moves!

Tuesday, October 20. Tuesday is abortion day at the “clinic.” Last night, as I prayed, I found myself wondering if the Lord might move today upon this temple of death (see our report for Day 27). Today, He did! We were able to witness some of the fruits of our spiritual campaign, thanks be to Him.

There was a good turnout for our vigil today, as many as 13 of us in the morning. Among them a contingent of 6 from Moncton including two women I highly esteem as veteran “prayer warriors,” Sr. Cécile and Diane.

A woman approached along the street this morning, getting ready to go in for her scheduled abortion. She later told us that, seeing our signs, she just could not go through with it. She came in our pro-life house and asked to speak to someone. She had a long session with Martha. She has decided to have the baby and is exploring adoption! She cancelled her abortion appointment. Thanks be to the God of life! Please do support her in prayer, if you would. It’s a very difficult situation including medical issues for the mother.

She wasn’t the only one who changed her mind! Two other women entered the “clinic”, apparently for abortions. But they left without having them!

I watched as two young women entered around 7:30 a.m. The abortionist arrived shortly after 8 a.m. Soon after that the two young women emerged and left! They would not have had time for an abortion. The procedure takes 15 minutes or so, and then the woman spends time in the recovery area. So it usually takes about an hour and a half for the whole process. They just weren’t there anywhere near that long. Moreover, a woman who’s had an abortion usually moves slowly as she walks. These two were walking at normal speed, another sign no procedure had taken place. It appears to me a mind was changed and a baby’s life spared!

I saw this young couple enter the “clinic” a little while after the above pair. They were in there a good while, as if for an abortion, but they too came out earlier than expected and moved along at a good pace walking back up the street. I am quite certain they did not have an abortion! Colleen - another prayer warrior - was beside me, the two of us rejoiced.

It appears as though the lives of three children were spared! We have never seen anything like this before, in all our years of observing days of death. Amazing! Our God is an awesome God.

There were yet other signs that something spiritually was getting through the normal shield of death that envelops pregnant mothers. Leo noticed a young woman waiting a long time in a car before finally approaching the abortuary. Her face showed real emotion and reluctance, something you don’t usually see with abortion-bound women. Unfortunately, she did enter and apparently underwent the procedure. Pray for her, and the 8 others we noticed going in for abortions (besides the two mentioned above).

As I was fixing something by the House, I noticed one woman going up the street, another woman putting her arm around her shoulder. Thaddée said this woman was in fact crying as she left the abortuary. You don’t always see this, it was evident to me that on this special day something out of the ordinary- grace! - was bringing the tragic reality of abortion to light to a number of the mothers.

These events should encourage us. Our prayers are being answered. Through signs God is revealing that the spiritual battle is indeed real, He is truly at work in our midst, and He very much wants us to persevere in this kind of campaign.

In His love and truth,
Peter Ryan

40 Days For Life — Real Love Does Not Take A Child’s Life

E-mail communique from the New Brunswick Right to Life:

Day 17: Real Love Does Not Take a Child’s Life

Friday, October 9. Encouraging to see people once again coming from afar. Lorraine and six other members of a Saint John prayer group took two shifts of several hours each. Jackie, head of the provincial CWL, and her husband from Perth-Andover. Walter and Jeanine from Quispamsis. Gordie and Daniel from Saint John. Three young people from Saint John; especially encouraging for us seeing the young people.

One of the women spoke about how several of her friends use to have the abortionist at Morgentaler’s as a family doctor when she practised in Saint John. They remarked how “caring” she was. I’ve heard the same of two other former abortionists who were ob-gyns: people said they were “caring.” It’s amazing how otherwise caring people can have such huge blind spots. Abortionists think they’re doing the pregnant women a service. They just don’t seem to really see the innocent child whose life they take, nor the lifelong suffering they leave mothers with.

Real love does not take a child’s life. Sooner or later many abortionists seem to come to realize this. Spiritual blindness can be healed. We pray this to come to pass for our “Dr. R.” Lord, have mercy on her.

Peter Ryan

And then we have those "doctors" who perform abortions at the Dumont hospital in Moncton and at the Chaleur hospital in Bathurst. They too are likely to be someone's family doctors; and their patients too may find them nice and caring - if they were lucky to be born, of course. Those in the womb - for them it's a different story. They may end up feeling the full extent of such "care". But those babies are voiceless.

40 Days For Life — A Baby Saved! Maybe Two

E-mail communique from the New Brunswick Right to Life:

Day 7: Baby saved! Maybe two!

With all the prayer the past six days of our vigil, I was wondering if we might see some fruit of that on Day 7: abortion day at Morgentaler’s. We did!

There were about a dozen of us present as our vigil began at 7 a.m. The rain began just then and would come down steady for the rest of the morning.

There were 7 or 8 “escorts” outside the abortion site. It wasn’t long before women began arriving for abortions. Over the next three hours we noticed at least 12 going in (they normally stop going in about 10 a.m.)

But two of the 12 soon came back out! In at least one case a change of heart was apparent. This one couple walked down the street and went in the front door between 8 and 9. I took note of them because he was a large young man. Of course we were praying hard for each and every one we saw going in.

They couldn’t have been in there more than 20-25 minutes. To my pleasant surprise out they come the front door and walk away up the street! They weren’t in there long enough for an abortion, for sure. It’s unusual to see someone come out again so soon and leave. Usually that would signify a changed mind. Did this one? Maybe! They didn’t look our way or speak to anyone so it wasn’t clear. God alone knows, we entrust them to Him.

The other one was more clear. Between 9 and 10, as most of us stood in the rain across the street from abortion site, Marti, who has much experience counseling pregnant mothers at the Women’s Center next door, stood a short distance from the “clinic.” I prayed that she would somehow get a chance to speak to a woman going for an abortion. I left the prayer site about 9:45 and went in our pro-life centre.

Not long after 10 I met a beaming Marti in the kitchen. “A baby was saved!” she said. She recounted how this mother and daughter (the baby’s grandmother and mother) passed by her going toward the abortion site. Marti was able to speak a few kind words about how they didn’t need to go in there, help was available next door etc. Marti said she felt an “unctioning of the Holy Spirit” as she spoke. The two women, however, continued on and entered the “clinic,” with escorts gathered around.

But 5 minutes later they re-emerged! The escorts seemed a little flustered to see them leaving. They passed by Marti’s way again. The older woman looked at Marti intently and said, “Thank you.” It was obvious something had happened! The Holy Spirit had gotten through! They proceeded into the nearby parking garage. When their car came out and passed by, the young woman looked Marti’s say and smiled. The power of prayer and love made manifest.

A child saved, maybe two! Who can even begin to measure the value of this?
Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness. And thanks to all who prayed.

It was a most blessed day at our vigil site in more ways than one. There was the group of regular Tuesday pro-lifers (3) who came up from Saint John; five from the same church who were so numerous at our Day 6 vigil; a group of 6 from the Moncton area; a group of 7 from the Rogersville area including a priest; another priest; the past head of the NB Knights of Columbus and his wife; a family of 7 and their friend; various other individuals and couples.

Then there was the man from a nearby café who brought two free carafes of coffee in the rain; the same man spoke to my wife the day before and said “I was adopted.” A “pro-choice” young woman from St. Thomas U. spoke peacefully for 45 minutes with two of our people; perhaps something good rubbed off! Several other passersby stopped to chat. One seemed to be the father of aborted babies, struggling with pain, an effort was made to minister to him; he departed in good humor.

Peter Ryan

That's excellent news. It's always great to hear about a life that has been saved and, results like that are sure motivating. Let's keep up with the good work. And let's not forget: Life Chain is this Sunday. Let's be there; let's come together in a peaceful and prayerful public witness for the unborn.

40 Days For Life - A Blessed Beginning

E-mail communique from the New Brunswick Right to Life:

Day 1: A Blessed Beginning

When we started to organize this, our first-ever 40 Days campaign I as campaign director felt unequal to the task. How to fill all those prayer shifts? Fredericton is much smaller than the other Canadian cities that are involved with 40 Days, how can we do it? It’s a secularized environment (government and university town), we don’t even get much pro-life support from the churches. So much to be done. My overwhelming feeling was: this is so much bigger than our team (too few hands, as always) can handle. My prayer: “Lord, help!”

And He has. The prayer shifts have been filling up. Churches previously lukewarm about pro-life are showing interest. A long-time divide in our pro-life movement here is being overcome, as Protestants join with Catholics. People all over the province unable to travel here for the vigil are praying and fasting at home and church. Special masses for life (rare in these parts) are being offered.

So with His grace yesterday we began, Day 1. I was impressed to see how many vigilers brought friends along with them. Quite a number of people who had planned to take part couldn’t or didn’t; but somehow others took their place, we always had at least two present, most times more. Lots of folks taking part who’ve never done anything like this before. Participants saying how they felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. More positive than negative reaction from passersby. A very good day. Thanks be to God!

A blessing rather than a curse

There were a couple surprises. One lady drives by with a sober demeanour slows right now, rolls down her window, the vigilers say to themselves, “Oh, oh, here comes trouble.” But then the lady gives them a thumbs up!

In the evening as I was praying in the dark with an Anglican priest, I heard someone yelling. Looking around, I saw a young couple walking two dogs in our direction. My first thought was, “Oh, oh.” Then she yells again and I make out, “Are you going all night or what?” She got closer and commented, pointing to the abortuary, “You know, I lost my baby (miscarriage), just to think about what they do to babies in there ….” A driver went by and cursed at us. “Boy, is that guy ignorant,” the young woman said. She then asked, “Are you guys with that place next door?” pointing to the pro-life center where I work. “Yes,” I said. She indicated she had gone in to our center one time and received help. When I explained we were on a 40 day prayer campaign, the couple asked if they could come back sometime and join us. As they went on their way, the young woman turned and yelled out again: “God bless you!”

Pretty neat stuff!

Peter Ryan
Campaign director, Fredericton NB
Executive Director, NB Right to Life

Here in Moncton we had an hour of prayer at the George Dumont hospital. The public was friendly (I could see the drivers giving us the thumbs up, not to mention the honks) and, despite the harsh weather, we actually had a few people joining our vigil.

Let's keep up with the good work. Let's pray to end abortion - rain or shine.

Red Envelope Campaign Resumes In New Brunswick

The campaign is to raise awareness not just of the abortions that take place in Morgentaler's facility in Fredericton, but also - of hundreds of abortions that are performed in New Brunswick hospitals each year, because the province's definition of "medically necessary" could easily be stretched to include abortions on demand. Attached to the latest NBRL newsletter was an empty red envelope, addressed to the New Brunswick Health Minister, Mary Schryer. Each of those red envelopes symbolizes a baby who died in abortion.

As you can tell from our Newsletter, pages 1-2, what is taking place in two of our New Brunswick hospitals is deeply disturbing. It's bad enough when Henry Morgentaler tries to force New Brunswickers to pay for dead-babies-on-demand at his private clinic (see Newsletter, p.10). Thanks goodness the government has been fighting then. But how can the same government pay for the very same thing in our hospitals! Shame on them!

I am very frustrated that up to now there has been no political leadership on this terrible problem. We have aborted 25,000 New Brunswick children since 1969 - and two-thirds were in our hospitals! Why have we collectively still not woken up& Why are we so reluctant to welcome and protect every child in our hospitals? How can we turn a blind eye to the death of hundreds of innocent children every year?

As pro-lifers we absolutely must hold our elected representatives to account. That's why we have initiated the Red Envelope Campaign.

Please use the enclosed red envelope. Send it (empty) to our new Minister of Health, Mary Schryer (who, incidentally, attended our last March for Life). Let's hope and pray it touches her heart.

New Brunswick Right to Life flyer

If you haven't received an envelope, but still wish to participate, you can easily make one yourself. Seal it (empty) and write the following text on the back:

This envelope represents one New Brunswick child who died from an abortion. It is empty because that little boy or girl was never able to offer anything to the world. Please save our children!

Address the envelope to:

The Hon. Mary Schryer
Minister of Health
POBox 5100 Fredericton NB E3B 5G8

Make sure you put your name and address and don't forget to put a postage stamp. (You can only mail to the federal MPs postage-free.)

Apart from the Red Envelope campaign, New Brunswick is about to stage its first 40 Days For Life vigil from September 23^rd to November 1^st. And let's not forget the Life Chain that will take place on Sunday, October 4th in hundreds of locations all across North America, including at least four New Brunswick cities.
