PDF Version: R v Booyink: A Non-Stop Charter(ed) Flight to Protest in Canadian Airports?
Case commented on: R v Booyink, 2013 ABPC 185
If the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (“CCBR”) hasn’t yet made an appearance in your town, city or neighbourhood, chances are they soon will. The CCBR is an educational, pro-life activist organization devoted to the stated objective of making Canada abortion-free. Its goals are to expose as many Canadians as possible to images of, and to engage directly in conversations about, abortion. The CCBR sees its messaging as educational in nature which might include any of the following strategies:
- Imagine opening your mail box to find a gripping pro-life postcard showing “invisible” aborted children.
- Then imagine walking down the street and seeing a poster of an abortion victim hanging from a pole in your neighbourhood.
- Walking further, you see activists holding signs and engage in dialogue about abortion.
- Then imagine driving through traffic and seeing a large truck with abortion imagery on its side and rear panels. (See Unmasking Choice – CAUTION – the CCBR may post graphic images)
