OTTAWA, December 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life advocate Mary Wagner is asking for prayers and financial support for her landmark Charter challenge to the Canadian law that denies that the child in the womb is a human being.
After an eight-year legal odyssey, the case has now reached the Supreme Court of Canada.
Wagner, who has spent nearly six years in jail for her peaceful attempts to save mothers and their unborn children from the violence of abortion, is challenging Section 223(1) of Canada’s Criminal Code.
That section states: “A child becomes a human being within the meaning of the Act when it has completely proceeded, in a living state, from the body of its mother[.]”
Her lawyer, Dr. Charles Lugosi, is arguing that this section violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 guarantee of an individual’s right to “life, liberty and security of person,” as well as the Charter’s Section 15 guarantee that “[e]very individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law.”
