That included Moose Jaw Right for Life this past weekend, as over a dozen supporters of the local pro-life organization took to Main Street with placards displaying messages of positivity and hope designed to spread awareness of what they do and what they’re all about.
“We come out every year as part of the Life Chain and we’re just part of the wheel,” said Moose Jaw Right to Life president Jean Landry as multiple vehicles drove by and honked in support. “It’s just bringing out awareness, witness and prayer. That’s what we’re here for, peaceful, prayerful witness.”
Life Chain participants gather for an hour “praying for an end to abortion and euthanasia in our local community, our province, our nation and throughout North America. It is a visual statement of solidarity led by the Christian community and joined by all like-minded individuals”, the organization said in a press release.
“And we’re hoping it will touch hearts, and that ladies who have a stressful, unplanned pregnancy will reach out and know that there’s hope, that there could be another choice other than abortion,” added Landry.
The local organization’s efforts extend beyond the pro-life realm, too, reaching into support for expectant mothers who might need assistance of any sort.
“We’re trying to be there for the community as well,” Landry explained. “For families, we have a beautiful organization set up where there’s a clothing giveaway for babies and maternity clothes for mothers…. And we like to encourage people to contact us if they’re in difficulty, and we’ll always do what we can.”
