Reproductive 'Choice' Campaign Launched Today In Calgary by CCBR

Today the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR), based in Calgary, AB, launches its “Reproductive ‘Choice’ Campaign” which is designed to re-ignite the debate over legalized child-killing in Canada.

Starting today in Calgary, CCBR will cruise city streets with an 11-meter long box-bodied truck with billboards showing aborted human beings.

Their press release appears at the end of this posting.

Although CCBR has had a bumpy reception in Calgary in some respects, having met the staff and observed their strategy and professionalism, Vote Life, Canada! stands behind their work completely, and emphasizes the need for a proper and effective venue for the public showing of graphic abortion imagery. CCBR provides that venue and, just as importantly, plans wisely for its outcomes.

The plight of Canada’s Unborn will be shockingly evident to many more Canadians—starting today in Calgary.

A national pro-life group launches the “Reproductive ‘Choice’ Campaign,” re-igniting Canada’s abortion debate

CALGARY, AB—On Wednesday, August 8, the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) is driving home its message—literally. Starting today in Calgary, CCBR will cruise city streets with an 11-meter long box-bodied truck with billboards showing aborted human beings.

“Abortion advocates like to talk about abortion in terms of ‘reproductive freedom’ and ‘a woman’s right to choose,’” said Stephanie Gray, executive director of CCBR. “This language covers up what abortion is, namely, an act of violence that kills a baby. We call this project the ‘Reproductive “Choice” Campaign’ precisely because we want people to see what this ‘choice’ actually looks like.” Statistics Canada reports that there are over 100,000 abortions annually in Canada.

Gray acknowledged that many may not like the images: “We don’t like the images either. But what is more disturbing—born people seeing abortion or unborn people being killed by abortion?”

“Society understands the ability of graphic images to educate and inform on critical issues such as health and justice,” added Gray. “Whether it’s the images of diseased lungs, teeth, and gums on cigarette packages or movies like Schindler’s List and Hotel Rwanda, people accept uncomfortable imagery when they recognize that the images convey an even more uncomfortable truth.”

The images on the truck are accompanied by contact information, including CCBR’s website, unmaskingchoice.ca.
