Two-thirds of Parliament Hill was sectioned off by police for the pro-life rally prior to the march, and another third was given to counter-protesters. The pro-abortion counter-protesters were dwarfed by the thousands of pro-life Canadians who were present at the event. Many of the abortion enthusiasts hurled angry chants, insults, and obscene language at the pro-life demonstrators, many of whom were families with young children. Provocative comments were made towards many of the Christians in attendance, possibly with the hope of stirring a fiery and angry altercation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some shouted \u201cmy body, my choice,\u201d defending the killing of preborn babies. Many held signs with messages such as: \u201cAbortion access saves lives\u201d; \u201cMisogyny kills more than abortion\u201d; and \u201cYou can\u2019t ban abortions, you can only ban safe ones.\u201d A biological woman who had undergone breast-reduction surgery walked around shirtless, showing the scars of the operation. This small group of protesters yelled ferociously in an attempt to drown out the pro-life event and, in their eyes, ardently protect what they perceive to be their rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/e4Kl2MIfCtg\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A tempting response to this hatred would indeed have been for the pro-life attendees to fire back with insults and angry chanting of their own. They had more than sufficient numbers to drown out the chants declaring that the ending of the life of the unborn is a human right, but that isn\u2019t what happened. Instead, the pro-life side was full of people praying, some of them reciting the Catholic prayer of the rosary. They invoked God and the Holy Spirit to change the hearts of those standing across from them.<\/p>\n<p>One woman who exemplified this was Rachel Roumelis, a 20-year-old from Toronto. As the pro-abortion activists raised their voices in volume and intensity, Rachel felt moved by the Spirit of God to lay down on the ground on the pro-life side with her head facing the angry activists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, I was interceding for them and praying in the spirit, but then God told me to get down, prostrate, and to worship Him,\u201d she told Pete Baklinski of Campaign Life Coalition, in an interview following the rally on the Hill.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw Jesus on the cross in between us. He shed his blood for all of us&#8230;for the salvation of all of our souls. God loves all of us so much&#8230;I believe God, that He will save them and that God\u2019s purposes will prevail,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/target-petition\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=lan_website&amp;utm_content=target_petition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-292702 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-700x180.jpg\" alt=\"Target petition\" width=\"700\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-700x180.jpg 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-768x198.jpg 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized-500x129.jpg 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/LA23MAY_TargetPetition_resized.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Christian worldview is that Christ died with love for everyone, to save everyone, all of whom are sinners of their own accord. Rachel&#8217;s care for all sides of the march was radically and amazingly consistent with the way in which Christians are called to live and approach those who hate them. There existed not only a lack of hate for the counter-protesters, but a profound love for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe love of Christ is waiting to overtake them with His mercy,\u201d Rachel said in the interview.<\/p>\n<p>Rachel said that she understood why the pro-abortion activists came to this event, but&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Continue reading article in full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignlifecoalition.com\/youth-blog\/id\/222\/title\/see-what-pro-life-woman-did-in-front-of-angry-pro-choice-activists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">at Campaign Life Coalition<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>This article was originally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campaignlifecoalition.com\/youth-blog\/id\/222\/title\/see-what-pro-life-woman-did-in-front-of-angry-pro-choice-activists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published<\/a> at Campaign Life Coalition and is reprinted here with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/give.liveaction.org\/general-donation\/?utm_source=lan&amp;utm_medium=display&amp;utm_campaign=monthly&amp;utm_content=article\"><i><strong>Did you know that as little as $10 a month is enough to reach more than 3,000 people with the truth about abortion that no one else is telling them?
