The March came across a small number of pro-life protesters while carrying posters that said “Reproductive Rights for All” and “Abortion is a Charter Right.”
“We’re not here to oppose specific people, and we don’t mind visitors. Caleb Giesbrecht, the pro-life event organizer, declared, “we are here to firmly oppose what they stand for.”
