Communiqué #5 — Christian Family Life
National Chairperson of Christian Family Life Dorothy Johansen, June 30, 2022.
My dear sisters in the League,
Sanctity of Life
One of the Objects of the League is to protect the sanctity of life.
Throughout the League’s history, members have protected the sanctity of life by preparing and presenting to government many resolutions regarding the rights of the unborn child. And yet, Canada has no law limiting abortion at any time or place or by any method.
Members support many pro-life organizations and participate in events such as March for Life and 40 Days for Life. They also support organizations that look after women and children in need when they have chosen life and support women who have been traumatized by abortion through organizations such as Project Rachel.
Please ask your diocesan counterparts to encourage members to continue to focus on protecting the sanctity of life by working on and praying to change the minds and hearts of women contemplating abortion as a solution to their problems, rather than accepting members’ support for them and their children. Members should also be encouraged to contact their member of parliament and ask them to protect the sanctity of life by passing into law a ban on abortion.
Dorothy Johansen
National Chairperson of Christian Family Life
