Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa, Canada, called into question Ontario's new "bubble zone law," which he said restricts the peaceful efforts of the pro-life movement.
"The bubble zone law could effectively kill the National March for Life held each May in Ottawa," said Archbishop Prendergast in an Oct. 28 column for the Ottawa Sun.
"The law could also suppress the annual Life Chain as well as the 40 Days for Life events that have been a peaceful witness against abortion for years."
The bubble zone – also known as a "buffer zone" – law was passed last week in Ontario. It restricts pro-life activists from protesting within 50-150 meter parameters established outside of abortion clinics, pharmacies, and doctor's offices.
