BUFFER ZONE LAWS IN CANADA - Source: Wikipedia
"...One country in which "buffer zone" laws have been enacted is Canada. One of the country's provinces and territories has passed a law intended to protect medical facilities that provide induced abortion:
British Columbia: 10 metre fixed buffer zone around a doctor's office, 50 metre fixed buffer zone around a hospital or clinic, and 160 metre fixed buffer zone around an abortion provider or clinic worker's home. The Access to Abortion Services Act, enacted in 1995, refers to this area as an "access zone". It prohibits protesting, sidewalk counseling, intimidation of or physical interference with abortion providers or their patients inside of this space. The provisions against protesting and sidewalk counselling were repealed on January 23, 1996, as violating the Canadian Charter, but were both restored in October of the same year.
Access zone legislation has also been passed at the level of local government in Canada:
Calgary, Alberta: fixed buffer zone which requires protesters to remain across the street from a clinic in Kensington. Established in 1991, the injunction also limits the number of pro-life demonstrators who carry signs, or pray. It was first challenged by Michael O'Malley of Campaign Life Coalition in 1997, and again in 2000, but a judge upheld it both times.
Toronto, Ontario: 500 feet fixed buffer zone around doctors' homes, 25 feet fixed buffer zone around doctors' offices, 60 feet fixed buffer zone around two clinics in the Cabbagetown and Scott districts, 30 feet fixed buffer zone around another clinic, and 10 foot floating buffer zone around patients and staff. The injunction was granted on August 30, 1994.

SOME CANADIAN STATS:
Since the lifting of all legislation on abortions in Canada approximately 3.3 million Canadians have been aborted (based on Stats Canada numbers). This is a conservative number because it only reflects 'reported' abortions and does not include the morning after pill, which is, the earliest form of pregnancy termination. If you do the math this works out to at LEAST 20% of our generation in Canada that has never made it past the womb. If you include unreported abortions and the pill the number could be as high as 30-40%. This works out to 2-3000 Canadians per week and about a baby every 1.5 minutes that abortion clinics are open. In your 15 minute prayer block it is probable that 10 babies (statistically) will be aborted....we believe your prayers will be direct intervention into these stats. Go for it!
THIS IS A WOMEN'S ISSUE: The above stats are not the only relevant stats on this issue. As many as 80-90% of women testify that they struggle with depression and anxiety after having an abortion and MOST women say the quality of their lives is NOT enhanced but reduced after their abortion. Every study that we have seen indicates that most women deeply regret their abortion and wish they would have known 1) the stage that their baby was at when they were terminated & 2) what the potential emotional and psychological outcomes for their lives would be. We need to pray for the women. Pray for healing and restoration of those who have had abortion. Also, pray that the right information would get to the women who are considering it (or should we say 'girls' seeing as most women have their first abortion before the age of 22).
