Attending were, from left, Nicole Campbell, orginally from P.E.I. but now living in Toronto who is guest speaker at a rally planned for tonight in Charlottetown, Shannon Moore, president of the University of Prince Edward Island Students For Life, Greg Hebert, president of the the P.E.I. Right to Life Association and Ann Marie Tomlins, official spokesperson for the association.

The rally will be held starting at 7 p.m. in the basement of Saint Dunstan's Basilica church on Great George Street in Charlottetown.
Joe - I think you don't understand the way that PEI society is evolving. We have moved past the 1980s and 1990s and are actually catching up to the rest of Canada in terms of societal development. If what I'm hearing, reading and seeing, I think that a majority of Islanders are quite accepting of abortion as a necessary medical procedure that is part of a complete offering of health care services to all Canadians.
