In conjunction with the 20th anniversary of the R. v. Morgentaler Supreme Court decision which struck down Canada's abortion law, Souther Alberta ARPA made a large display of crosses to commemorate the over 3 million lives that have been lost through abortion since Canada first legalized it. The large display is next to Highway 3 in Coaldale Alberta. It consists of 100 crosses, each representing 1000 children who are aborted every year in Canada.
