In the past year, there have been limitations to Canadian citizen’s ability to speak out against abortion and other evils. Most large outdoor events have been canceled due to worries around COVID-19. This has affected pro-life events that CitizenGO would typically be attending, such as Canada’s 2020 March for Life and the 2021 March for Life in the United States.
There were only a fraction of people compared to previous years, still many hundreds of people came together to speak out against abortion, which claims the lives of around 100,000 pre-born children in Canada each year.
Much was said at the March for Life about Bill C-7, a bill that passed last March which gave Canada one of the world’s most permissive euthanasia laws by allowing people whose deaths are not reasonably foreseeable to be euthanized. Bill C-7 also makes it so that within two years, Parliament needs to craft rules around allowing people to die by euthanasia who have no physical illness but are mentally ill.
James Schadenberg and the team at CitizenGO has been very vocal in speaking out against Bill C-7 through petitions and phoning campaigns. In the past year, CitizenGO has also spoken out against Canada giving taxpayer money to fund abortion overseas, the censorship of pro-life signs in Calgary, Alberta, and attempts from Global News to get the Canadian government to block pro-life groups from receiving COVID-19 wage subsidies.
Likewise, his colleague Gregory in the United States has fought in the last year to advocate for the confirmation of pro-life. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, fought to remove the bust of Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger from Washington DC’s National Portrait Gallery and fought against two pro-abortion bills in Virginia. Globally, we at CitizenGO have fought to stop child euthanasia from being legalized in the Netherlands, and we’ve gone up against the abortion lobby many times at the United Nations.
The. CitizenGO team is committed to fighting against the culture of death wherever it rears its head. They are against any actions taken by governments or organizations that aim to normalize abortion or make abortion more accessible. We stand against euthanasia and any actions taken to normalize or assist in suicide.
