It's the usual Rightwing Nutjob promo for The Fetus©™ fetishists, complete with wildly exaggerated stats about participation:
[...] the National March for Life rally on Parliament Hill, which attracts approximately 20,000 abortion opponents annually.
20,000? I live in Ottawa and I've never seen crowds reach that number. Somebody is MASSIVELY lying.
Then there's this declaration:
What rubbish. If a woman must be protected from opposing points of view in order to choose abortion, then perhaps her decision was ill-considered in the first place.in response to the WTF? local pro-choice folks expressed when they learned the city had issued an official "respect for life" proclamation.
That arrogant, authoritarian piece was likely written by notorious anti-feminist Babs Kay. Ironic, since she's probably okay with US states that now legally subject pregnant women requesting this medical intervention to an unwanted ultra-sound and sermon from anti-abortion health care staff.
How about this, Babs?
If a woman must be pressured, humiliated, harassed, threatened, and forced by law to carry a pregnancy to term then perhaps her decision wasn't freely determined in the first place.

Take a look at the images of the Feast of the Fetus Festival, even counting the police and counter-protesters there's no way that there were that many individual people on the hill.
Maybe they're counting all the eggs in the female Catholic protesters?
"What rubbish. If a woman must be protected from opposing points of view in order to choose abortion, then perhaps her decision was ill-considered in the first place."
Women already know about the opposing points of view. What they need to be protected from is frothing whackjobs who want to berate, humiliate, and even physically attack them for seeking the alternative they chose.
