Toronto pregnancy centre needs help to move to street level beside abortion facility

Aid to Women's clinic is on the second floor on the left, right next to the abortuary. Notice the big store front windows that would be used to hang pro-life information if the office were to move to street level.

TORONTO, August 2, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Babies bound for abortion in Toronto might be given more of a fighting chance at life if a crisis pregnancy centre succeeds in securing a location it has wanted for over 20 years, right on the street level beside a booming abortion business. But to do it they are going to need some generous donors to come forward.

“We really want the main floor because of the exposure we can have and because of the easy access into our space,” said Enza Rattenni, manager of Aid to Women, to LifeSiteNews.com (LSN).

Aid to Women is located immediately next door to the 'Cabbagetown Women's Clinic' abortuary, but on the second floor.

The business immediately below them, with its two huge storefront windows, closed its doors this spring. The landlord has offered the space to the pro-life organization if they can afford the rent.

Rattenni said their work has been impeded because the abortuary is surrounded by a bubble zone. Once women cross the line as they head to the abortuary, sidewalk counsellors can no longer speak to the women or hand them any kind of material. If Aid to Women moves down a floor, it will be able to hang its large pro-life signs and life-affirming information in the large storefront windows.

Vivid attention-grabbing pro-life material in the storefront windows would be a last-ditch effort to reach out to abortion-vulnerable women.  (more...)
