Life House Movie Night: ROE Canada

Roe Canada: The true North in a Post-Roe World

Josie and Ruth are intrepid young pro-life activists who are actively investigating how the landmark decision in their neighbouring nation could help or hinder efforts to end abortion in Canada, the only democratic country in the world with zero legal protection for the preborn.

Through interviews with key pro-life advocates like former Planned Parenthood clinic director Abby Johnson, Students for Life Kristan Hawkins, The Babylon Bee’s Seth Dillon, speaker/authors Stephanie Gray Connors and Jonathon Van Maren as well as legal experts, politicians and media figures on both sides of the border, Josie and Ruth attempt to uncover the roadmap to Canada’s version of the June 24th Dobbs victory. Their journey begins in January 2023 at the historic March for Life in Washington, D.C. and ends in May of 2023 at the National March for Life in Ottawa.

Psalm 104: 33 I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Praise and worship is a powerful weapon against spiritual warfare. Let us gather and praise our Lord and call upon the Holy Spirit to hover over this place and bring life back. Let His kingdom come.

Scripture gives powerful examples of how God uses worship to advance His kingdom purposes and support His people. 2 Chronicles 20 and Acts 16 are among them. Praise the Lord!
