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 香蕉视频直播渦nease香蕉视频直播� for some and pledged to ensure it would not happen again.
Connie MacLeod posted photos and comments on social media about how 香蕉视频直播渢riggering香蕉视频直播� the plastic fetus baggies were, especially being handed out from a parade float to celebrate the fall harvest.
香蕉视频直播淗ow is this allowed at a 香蕉视频直播榢id-friendly香蕉视频直播� event?香蕉视频直播� MacLeod wrote. 香蕉视频直播淩egardless of where you stand on the topic of abortion, what parent wants to be talking with their little ones about the 香蕉视频直播榖utchering of unborn babies香蕉视频直播�? How does that spread enjoyment for the event?香蕉视频直播�
She said it was particularly galling that the same organization, run by Chilliwack Pro Life, made a post claiming to be 香蕉视频直播渟ensitive香蕉视频直播� to those who have lost a pregnancy.
香蕉视频直播淭his is so incredibly insensitive to others in a similar situation,香蕉视频直播� she wrote.
It would been different if it was a booth people could avoid on the parade route.
香蕉视频直播淏ut a float in the parade in which they sought out children and families with toy fetuses? That香蕉视频直播檚 disgusting,香蕉视频直播� MacLeod wrote.
Another parade goer had this to say about the 香蕉视频直播渉urtful香蕉视频直播� handouts to women: 香蕉视频直播淗ad such fun at previous events. But this year they had a group hand out plastic fetuses and lollipops with footprints to children. 香蕉视频直播淩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.香蕉视频直播�
Organizers of the Rosedale Harvest Festival posted on their Facebook page acknowledging the 香蕉视频直播渦nease香蕉视频直播� the packages caused in a thank-you message:
香蕉视频直播淲e understand there were some things distributed in the parade that caused unease.
香蕉视频直播淲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!香蕉视频直播�
