He, along with eight volunteers and in partnership with the Association for Reformed Political Actions (ARPA) began the Life Tour in Moncton on September 23. They plan to end on October 17 in Vancouver. The goal is to make political candidates and the general public aware of the campaign. Recognizing that change is done in a series of steps, they are starting with laws with which they believe everyone can agree. “To change the culture, you have to engage the culture,” explains Mike Schouten. “This isn’t a prolife issue. It’s a human rights issue.” Because the pro-life movement meets with some re- their candidates about their stand on the following three issues: 1. Late term abortion. Abortions are permitted even after a fetus can survive outside the womb. Instead, adoption could be a viable option. 2. Sex selection abortion. Developing countries often make headlines by denying girls the right to education, or by selling or destroying female babies. Canadian law allows for babies to be aborted if the parents want a child of the other sex. Most often, girls are aborted. 3. Pre-born victims of crime. There are no laws recognizing life until birth. This means that any crime committed against a pregnant woman is treated as a single crime. There is no justice for the unborn child. After a noon hour rally in Moose Jaw, the Life Tour moved on to Saskatoon for an evening event and will be in Vancouver before Election Day. For more information, follow them on Twitter
