The original sign, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/espn-anchor-apologizes-for-calling-companys-vaccine-mandate-sick\/\" title=\"ESPN Anchor Apologizes For Calling Company\u2019s Vaccine Mandate \u2018Sick\u2019\">encouraged pregnant women<\/a> to &#8220;choose Life,&#8221; had the word &#8220;Life&#8221; crossed out and replaced with &#8220;For Yourself,&#8221; altering the message to &#8220;Choose for Yourself.&#8221; Pete Baklinski, known as &#8220;Pro-Life Canadian Man,&#8221; condemned the vandalism, describing it as an act of selfishness and linking the selflessness required in motherhood to the sacrifice of Jesus. Choice42 is a ministry known for creating viral videos opposing abortion and providing support to mothers considering abortion. The vandalism highlights the deep divisions on this issue in Canada,where abortion laws do not recognise life before birth,and reflects broader cultural and ideological conflicts. The ministry urged supporters to pray for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >pro-life advocates facing opposition<\/a> and emphasized the importance of speaking out in defense of unborn children.  <\/p>\n<div id=\"ld-4686-3758\"><\/div>\n<p><script>(function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:14832835450050406,size:[0, 0],id:\"ld-4686-3758\"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src=\"https:\/\/cdn2.decide.dev\/_js\/ajs.js\";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,\"script\",\"ld-ajs\");<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>An anti-abortion activist in Ontario, Canada, revealed last week that a billboard for the Christian ministry Choice42 was vandalized with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/diabolical-abortion-activists-target-d-c-basilica-pro-life-prayer-vigil-on-eve-of-march-for-life\/\" title=\"\u2018Diabolical\u2019: ...
