She told Rose that in Canada, &#8220;The unborn child has no status\u2026 the unborn child is not a person, so there\u2019s no reason, no justification for restricting abortion. So it is allowed at any time throughout the nine months of pregnancy, and there are certain cities where it is routine for children in the last trimester of pregnancy to be killed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HzNxh44nRVg?si=5hAZywdh75zqwKOB\" 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>Last year, Wagner <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/live-action-2024-awardees-human-lives-protecting\/\">accepted<\/a> a Live Action Life Award on behalf of her friend, American pro-life activist <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/joan-andrews-bell-matriarch-pro-life\/\">Joan Bell<\/a>, who was incarcerated at the time. Ironically, just two years prior, Bell had accepted a Life Award on Wagner&#8217;s behalf while Wagner was incarcerated for her <em>own<\/em> pro-life activism. Wagner told Rose that she has collectively spent about six years in prison, specifically for reaching out to mothers seeking to abort their children.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A start in pro-life activism<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wagner was raised in a strong, pro-life Catholic household as the third of 12 children (both biological and adopted), with her parents bearing witness to the liberalizing of the abortion law in Canada around the same time as <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> in the United States. &#8220;It was very much on my parents\u2019 consciences to do something,&#8221; Wagner said. &#8220;For my dad it was more the political realm, and my mom it was the realm of, how can you actually help the moms. And so she volunteered at a pregnancy center, and I did that as well \u2014 participated as a teen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">She also spent some time praying outside abortion facilities as teen and young adult. \u201cI did join some prayer vigils at the first freestanding killing place in Vancouver, which was open the same year and around the corner from Mother Teresa\u2019s home [convent], which was devoted to the care of pregnant moms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But during her college years, she felt a deepening of her convictions. She asked herself, \u201cIs it enough just to be advocating here as I\u2019m going to school and doing other things?\u201d It was then that she \u201cfelt a call to more full time pro-life work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A clear sign from God<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wagner told Rose that her encounters with law enforcement began early on, after she met a pregnant teen who was sitting on the steps of a cathedral in Vancouver. Pro-lifers had offered the teen a great deal of assistance \u2014 even housing \u2014 but her boyfriend strongly pressured her to abort.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was about a month between meeting her and the scheduled abortion&#8230; meeting her came immediately after seeking spiritual direction,&#8221; said Wagner. &#8220;And it was a really clear sign from God to, if you have a relationship with woman who is pregnant, to do whatever you can to support her\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The teen gave in to her boyfriend&#8217;s pressure, but told Wagner when and where the abortion was scheduled, so Wagner showed up that day and went in with the teen. While inside, Wagner \u201cended up meeting a woman ahead of [the teen] who was scheduled and spoke briefly with her,\u201d telling the woman, \u201cYou don\u2019t have to do this.\u201d The abortion facility staff then came and asked Wagner to leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAll I knew was, I can\u2019t walk away\u2026 even if I can\u2019t do anything to stop what\u2019s happening, what\u2019s about to happen, at least I can stay with [the teen] and continue to hope and pray. So the police did come and they took me out and they arrested me along with my friend who was praying outside.\u201d Wagner said the teen went through with the abortion and was back at the cathedral two weeks later.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI don\u2019t know what else I could have done, because I could not walk away from her and her child\u2026 so it was a confirmation for me that this is the right thing to do\u2026. If there\u2019s somebody whose life is in danger, we need to be there,\u201d Wagner said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Charged as a criminal for her pro-life outreach<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Later, Wagner became involved in sidewalk ministry near the freestanding abortion facility in Vancouver, as one of the pro-life activists in that local area had purchased a home \u201cwithin the bubble zone\u201d (an area restricting the free speech and activity of pro-lifers) that surrounded the abortion business. That home was private property \u2014 but anytime Wagner stepped off of the property, she risked arrest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cFor me, it was about a long period of attempting to counsel, but also not wanting to pay attention to that limit if I step off of that property which to me was just a distraction,&#8221; Wagner told Rose. &#8220;I was arrested about a half a dozen times for stepping off that property. And\u2026 a few times I had gone before they would open in the morning and just kneel down in front of the door. I was consistently charged with mischief, interfering with lawful enjoyment and operation of a business, which is under the criminal code \u2014 carries a maximum six-month sentence. So that was over a period of about three years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ: <\/strong><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-pharmacy-outreach-abortion-pill\/\">Pro-life group says \u2018pharmacy outreach\u2019 activism about abortion pill has crucial impact<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wagner eventually entered a convent for four years, seeking to discern her calling in life, and deepened her faith in Jesus while there. But she still felt a strong call to reach women who were seeking abortions. \u201cWhen that time came to make vows, I knew my heart was still torn,\u201d Wagner said, so she reached out to pro-life activist <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-victory-not-guilty\/\">Linda Gibbons<\/a> (also <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-lifers-rally-ontario-jailed-christian-grandmother\/\">arrested<\/a> many times for her pro-life witness) who invited her to come and join the pro-life outreach efforts in Toronto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wagner said in the early years of her activism, she spent six months at a time in prison, but between 2010 and 2019, she spent about five years in prison total. What she learned while there impacted her a great deal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Living the Gospel of life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cMany of the women in prison are post-abortive\u2026 modest estimate of about 85% of the women I met in prison are post-abortive because they would eventually come and talk to me about it,&#8221; Wagner told Rose. &#8220;So that was eye-opening for me to see just how devastating abortion is.\u201d She added,\u00a0\u201cI met some women who were truly humble that I would not have expected to meet in prison\u2026 I found a real openness to the Holy Spirit\u2026 a real openness to call for help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wagner and Gibbons were able to minister to some of the women in prison while incarcerated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">One mother whom Wagner met there was four months pregnant, and she had five prior abortions. \u201cHer mindset [for seeking the abortions] was\u2026 because she wasn\u2019t married; she felt a child should be born in wedlock\u2026. [Linda Gibbons and I] spent a week praying and fasting\u2026.\u201d Wagner said. That particular inmate was released and later \u201ccame back with her four month old son, and just was\u2026 completely like a new person,&#8221; added Wagner. &#8220;So that was a beautiful encounter and also a confirmation in the power of prayer and fasting for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wagner told Rose that she believes the practice of intervening outside abortion centers is an extension of the Gospel.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI pray that others would be touched by that witness and see that it\u2019s the natural continuum of care for our unborn brothers and sisters and their moms,&#8221; she said. &#8220;It doesn\u2019t stop where the law arbitrarily says we can\u2019t go. And so my hope and prayer is that it would continue as one of the many ways that we\u2019re trying to live the Gospel of life and truly love those who are in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/Vety0KE\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-325597\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-700x251.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-768x275.png 768w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1-500x179.png 500w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/LA25DefundPP_EmailBannerAd-02-1.png 1167w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A month ago, before the presidential pardoning of several American pro-life activists who were charged with FACE Act violations and conspiracy charges by the Biden Department of Justice for attempting to save babies and reach mothers seeking abortions, another well-known activist sat down with Live Action founder and president Lila Rose to share her own [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":292,"featured_media":325834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false},"categories":[2793],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Mary Wagner recounts how &#039;living the Gospel of life&#039; led to her arrests and prison time<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"&quot;I could not walk away from her &amp; her child.
