Pro-life flag allowed to fly at city hall
A controversial flag will continue to be allowed to fly outside Prince Albert’s city hall.
For years, a pro-life flag has flown at city hall in recognition of life week. The controversial flag features a fetus with a caption underneath saying “please let me live.” At Monday night’s city council meeting, Lana Wilson requested the flag be taken down as she argues it is offensive to women.
“The display of pro-life imagery is intended to support the attempt to re-criminalize abortion in Canada,” she told council. “Last year in May, the flag …was prominently displayed on the guest flag pole outside city hall. This was not acceptable, was very harmful, angering and intimidating to many people across Prince Albert.”
She argued imagery like the anti-abortion flag has nothing to do with free speech, because its automatically descriminatory against a segment of the population.
