When it comes to abortion, the truth is often hidden.
Every year in Canada, thousands of women make the choice to have an abortion in every trimester of their pregnancy. They are told that abortion is a right and that the baby is just a clump of tissue. They are told that there is almost no risk of complications and that they will forget about it quickly.
The truth is that abortion kills a living human being and hurts women in ways unimaginable.
The truth is that there is hope. Forgiveness and healing is possible, and many women have received it.
There is help available for pregnant and post-abortive women.
The Southern Ontario abortion memorial was constructed by volunteers from Niagara ARPA in September, 2011. It is now traveling through Ontario.

The first abortion memorial of this kind was built in Coaldale Alberta (just outside of Lethbridge), to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the R v Morgentaler Supreme Court decision that struck down Canada’s abortion law.

Crosses are mounted on top of fence posts on Highway 16, outside of Smithers BC. The initiative comes from Bulkley Valley ARPA and the hope is that the display will move throughout BC.

If you would like to host a memorial on your property, help bring it to a new community, or have tips for properties that may be good, please send a note to info@arpacanada.ca.
www.TheTruthIs.ca is an initiative of ARPA Canada and the local ARPA chapters spread across Canada. We are ordinary Canadians who believe that all human life is equally worthy of protection and care. We volunteer our time and construct these memorials to the unborn to remind Canada of what abortion is and the healing and hope that can be found in Jesus Christ alone.
We are men and women who know what abortion does. We care.
