Peaceful protesters gathered for Ottawa’s March for Life… and were confronted by counter-protesters full of strife

In Ottawa, the annual March for Life took place beginning on Parliament Hill.

First, the good news: the Justin Trudeau Liberals did not close off the downtown core to prevent the pro-life marchers from marching — much like they did to the Rolling Thunder bikers a few weeks ago. So, a big thank you kindly goes out to Prime Minister Trudeau and Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson for, you know, respecting the Charter rights and freedoms of Canadians.

Speaking of protesters, a small group of pro-abortion demonstrators gathered. Their membership included everything from members of the radical transgender community to a Satanist.
