On August 15, 2012, Mary Wagner was
arrested after she entered the waiting room of a Toronto abortion clinic and
offered help to any woman who would consider changing her mind.
She has been in jail ever since on
charges of “mischief: interference with lawful enjoyment/operation of a
business,” and and breach of a probation order that prohibits her from being
within 200 meters of any place where abortions are performed in Ontario.
This was the sixth time Mary had
been arrested since she began her campaign of civil disobedience in March 2010.
Since then, she has spent nearly three years in prison.
To support Mary, her friends and
supporters at Campaign Life Coalition Youth have organized a campaign to send her Christmas cards and letters:
Mary Wagner
Vanier Centre for Women
P.O Box 1040
655 Martin St.
Milton, ON L9T 5E6
CANADA
Vanier Centre for Women
P.O Box 1040
655 Martin St.
Milton, ON L9T 5E6
CANADA
From the U.S., postage for a regular
first class card or letter is $1.10.
Please also use the following
guidelines to ensure that your letter will reach Mary:
- Do not use any plastic cards, medals, stamps, stickers in your card.
- Put your return address on the card as well as on the outside of the envelope.
- Do not discuss the internal workings of the prison.
- Do not include anything confidential, as prison guards scrutinize all incoming mail.
Finally, please also keep Mary in
your prayers during this time.
