A legal group has filed a constitutional challenge against the parliamentary police service for allegedly prohibiting a pro-life group from displaying signs depicting abortion at the annual March for Life rally in Ottawa in May.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced on July 6 that it is challenging the Parliamentary Protective Service (PPS) for allegedly stopping a “pro-life group from showing images of aborted fetuses during its news conference on Parliament Hill prior to the National March for Life in May 2023.”
