It is imperative that pro-lifers teach others that each of the approximately 100,000 abortions performed in Canada is a human rights violation that must be stopped. But this is made difficult because many Canadians avoid the uncomfortable subject of abortion through silence and indifference. Many people refuse to go out of their way to learn about abortion, let alone learn about it from a pro-life perspective.

"Choice" Chain is a powerful way to compel thought and debate on this controversial topic. By bringing the evidence of what abortion does to the unborn to the public, Canadians who do not want to think about the issue are compelled to deal with its gravity. The event stimulates public dialogue and ensures that the discussions occur in light of the reality of abortion.

By engaging the public with "Choice" Chain, pro-lifers aim to achieve these goals:

• Save babies


• Stimulate a debate on abortion that has long been silenced


• Change minds towards the pro-life view


• Spare women from the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage that abortion inflicts


• Encourage women and men who have been involved with abortion to seek post-abortive counselling


• Demonstrate the effectiveness of using graphic signs to pro-life groups who might be willing to obtain and use "Choice" Chain signs, and


• Recruit and train future pro-life leaders
