What Do You Know About Abortion In Canada?
There’s probably a lot more to know than you think. If you live in Canada or are Canadian, you really need to know about abortion in the country, both the history and what’s happening in the present day.
The other night we watched “The Missing Project”, so I wanted to make sure I shared the information with you here. (I did post it on social media a while back, but it’s interesting the posts that people don’t ever see because they don’t “happen” to pop up!)
The Missing Project is a documentary about abortion in Canada from a pro-life perspective. First, it goes through the recent history of abortion in Canada (50 years of it). That part goes by a little too fast, in my opinion – I should probably watch it again!
Then it goes into a little more depth about the movement to stop abortion, or even make any kind of a law regulating abortion, in Canada (to our shame there’s no law at all in the country specifically regarding abortion – making Canada alone the “wild west” of abortion – the only democracy in the world with no abortion law. And how that came to be is a bizarre story in itself). There are also interviews with various people who have been affected by abortion in many ways.
You will not agree with everyone in this film – that’s part of what makes it so interesting. It is most certainly a conversation starter! And these are conversations we need to have – conversations which often are not even “allowed” in Canada.
The movie can be purchased online (it’s not expensive – a whole lot cheaper than taking the family to the local Cineplex). Beyond that, there are 50 interviews that you can watch for free (but don’t miss the documentary – watch it!).
You can also host a screening if you’re in Canada – see Host a screening of this untold Canadian Story.
Once again, here’s the main website for The Missing Project. Take the time to watch it yourself, and share it with your family/church/small group/et cetera. I understand that it will not be available for purchase during the fall screenings, so I’m not sure how long you will be able to purchase it for. Even if you can’t watch it right away, you can purchase it today and watch it any time.
Here’s the official trailer –
