[Daily Caller] Toronto council member Sarah Doucette wants to shut down pro-life protests that depict the results of an abortion with frank pictures of severed fetuses.CBC News reports that Doucette finds the images "disturbing" and she is angry that pro-life activists are using them to illustrate what happens to a fetus during an abortion. She claims she has had hundreds of complaints from her constituents and now wants to sponsor a bylaw to ban the pictures in the city.
"These are big blown up images. There’s blood, there’s gore, there’s a lot of things there which should not be in people’s faces on their local street," Doucette told CBC News.
The graphic photos are courtesy of Calgary’s Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR), an anti-abortion think tank and education organization that calls itself "the pro-life resistance" in a country where abortion is rarely questioned by politicians.
