In today’s world, a troubling trend has taken root: Governments, driven by progressive ideologies, are not only normalizing abortion but actively promoting it as a cornerstone of their agenda.
Across cities and towns, taxpayer-funded clinics multiply, offering abortion as a quick fix while slick advertising campaigns paint it as a right to be celebrated. Worse still, those who dare to speak out—pro-life advocates, everyday citizens—are met with lawsuits and silencing tactics, all in the name of protecting this so-called “freedom.” This isn’t progress. It’s a war on humanity itself, one that mirrors the countless dehumanizing actions of those in power.
Abortion, in all its forms, is fundamentally wrong. From the earliest chemical interventions to late-term procedures, it ends a human life—a life that, once begun, carries the same intrinsic value as any of us. No one has the authority to play God, to decide who lives and who dies based on convenience or circumstance. Yet, leftist-led governments push forward, establishing abortion mills on every corner, cloaking their actions in the language of choice while ignoring the undeniable truth: Every abortion destroys a unique, irreplaceable person.
The damage doesn’t stop with the unborn. Mothers who undergo abortions often face a hidden toll, one rarely acknowledged by the glossy brochures or clinic counsellors. Physically, the risks are real; complications like infection, hemorrhage, or infertility can haunt women for years. Emotionally, the scars run deeper. Studies and countless testimonies reveal a pattern of grief, guilt, and depression that can linger for a lifetime.
One woman, reflecting on her experience, said, “They told me it would solve everything, but it left a hole nothing can fill.” This is the reality the abortion industry buries: It doesn’t empower women—it wounds them, body and soul.

On May 10, the streets of Toronto will bear witness to a powerful counterpoint. The annual March for Life rally will bring together thousands of pro-life voices, standing united against this tide of destruction. It’s not just a protest—it’s a declaration that life matters, from conception onward, and that the government’s relentless push for abortion must be challenged. Last year’s event saw passionate Canadians, young and old, holding signs like “Abortion Hurts Women” and “Life, We Stand On Guard For Thee,” a reminder that the fight for humanity isn’t silent or passive. This year promises to be even louder, a beacon of hope in a culture increasingly numb to the loss of its most vulnerable.
The pro-abortion crusade, backed by progressive elites, isn’t about rights—it’s about control, about reshaping society to discard the inconvenient and the defenceless. It’s one piece of a larger pattern: The same forces that erode family, faith, and freedom now champion the termination of life itself. But we don’t have to accept it. Every abortion is a tragedy, not a triumph, and no amount of government propaganda or legal threats can change that moral reality.
On May 10, in Toronto and beyond, let’s stand for the unborn, for the mothers, and for a future where humanity isn’t a casualty of ideology.
