Parade goers in Chilliwack were shocked to find tiny plastic fetuses in a candy bag being handed out at the Rosedale Harvest Festival by people on the Chilliwack Pregnancy Care Centre float.
Organizers of the event did not apologize to anyone upset by the handouts. They did however acknowledge the material caused 91裸聊视频渦nease91裸聊视频� for some and pledged to ensure it would not happen again.
Connie MacLeod posted photos and comments on social media about how 91裸聊视频渢riggering91裸聊视频� the plastic fetus baggies were, especially being handed out from a parade float to celebrate the fall harvest.
91裸聊视频淗ow is this allowed at a 91裸聊视频榢id-friendly91裸聊视频� event?91裸聊视频� MacLeod wrote. 91裸聊视频淩egardless of where you stand on the topic of abortion, what parent wants to be talking with their little ones about the 91裸聊视频榖utchering of unborn babies91裸聊视频�? How does that spread enjoyment for the event?91裸聊视频�
She said it was particularly galling that the same organization, run by Chilliwack Pro Life, made a post claiming to be 91裸聊视频渟ensitive91裸聊视频� to those who have lost a pregnancy.
91裸聊视频淭his is so incredibly insensitive to others in a similar situation,91裸聊视频� she wrote.
It would been different if it was a booth people could avoid on the parade route.
91裸聊视频淏ut a float in the parade in which they sought out children and families with toy fetuses? That91裸聊视频檚 disgusting,91裸聊视频� MacLeod wrote.
Another parade goer had this to say about the 91裸聊视频渉urtful91裸聊视频� handouts to women: 91裸聊视频淗ad such fun at previous events. But this year they had a group hand out plastic fetuses and lollipops with footprints to children. 91裸聊视频淩egardless of your stance on that topic, that is not appropriate for a family event. No apologies. Hurtful and insensitive to those who have suffered losses. So disappointed.91裸聊视频�
Organizers of the Rosedale Harvest Festival posted on their Facebook page acknowledging the 91裸聊视频渦nease91裸聊视频� the packages caused in a thank-you message:
91裸聊视频淲e understand there were some things distributed in the parade that caused unease.
91裸聊视频淲e want to reassure everyone that this came unawares to us as well and we hope from here on out to limit the handing out exclusively to candy!91裸聊视频�
