Re: Court Rules Against Abortion Protester, June 9.
Linda Gibbons has been in and out of prison for more than a
decade for repeatedly standing within the proscribed 150-metre bubble zone
around Toronto abortion clinics. The 63-year-old diminutive grandmother
protests quietly holding a sign that says: “Why, mom, when I have so much
love to give?” Time after time she is arrested for breaking the law though
she is hurting no one. The liberal intelligentsia has labelled her
dangerous and evil.
Meanwhile, Quebec students continue to strike, wreaking
havoc upon society at many levels, yet Canadian unions and the United Church of
Canada give them their support.
One group of protesters, creating chaos and hurting a
whole province in many ways, is strongly supported by the unions and the United
Church; a lone protester, inconveniencing no one, is thrown under a bus. The
hypocrisy is staggering.
