OTTAWA — Thousands of anti-abortion protesters thronged Parliament Hill and marched through the downtown on Thursday in what has become an annual rite.
It was the 14th year for the demonstration, which organizers call the “national march for life.”
The crowd mustered on the broad lawn in front of the Peace Tower, listening to speeches, including words from newly re-elected Kitchener Centre MP Stephen Woodworth, then moved off for a parade through city streets.
