A Pro-Abortion Documentary and the Role of Quebec Life Coalition

I wanted to bring to your attention a pro-abortion documentary titled La peur au ventre ("Fear in the Gut" or “Gut-Wrenching Fear”), which will air on Quebec’s public educational network Télé-Québec on October 21st at 8 PM. This documentary focuses on the impact in Canada of the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States. Unfortunately, it presents a strongly pro-abortion narrative, aiming to instill fear among abortion supporters. You can watch the trailer here on Télé-Québec or on Facebook.

Screen shot of the documentary “Gut-Wrenching Fear”. The man’s sign reads “Abortion is the number 1 cause of mortality in Canada”. Click to see the trailer.

The documentary features footage from the Marches for Life in Ottawa, Washington, D.C., and Quebec, where Quebec Life Coalition (QLC) is prominently showcased. Notably, it includes my confrontation (staged by the director) with a Quebec Solidaire MNA during the Quebec March for Life. As expected, this film is a piece of pro-abortion propaganda, a direct contrast to the documentary Roe Canada, produced with the help of our parent organization, Campaign Life Coalition.

However, what stands out in the documentary is the acknowledgment by our opponents that our pro-life movement has a coherent political plan. In fact, a pro-abortion activist mentions this explicitly in the trailer, and she’s not wrong. Our plan is coherent: we don’t just oppose abortion, euthanasia, and other societal ills. We are working toward a Christian society where everything—including the laws of our country—is ordered to the glory of God. This doesn’t mean a “theocracy,” but it is an alternative to the secular atheism that reigns today, allowing abortion and other evils to be tolerated in the name of a misunderstood “freedom,” which is actually license.

A Coherent Vision for the Common Good

What sets Quebec Life Coalition apart from other pro-life groups is precisely this coherent vision. We don’t just focus on opposing abortion; we seek to restore the foundations of the common good and the ultimate purpose of man, which is union with Christ. This vision drives everything we do: we help mothers in need, we educate the public on the moral and psychological dangers of abortion, and we pray for the conversion of hearts, all with the aim of creating a society that glorifies God.

Quebec Life Coalition: Leading the Charge

This documentary clearly shows that QLC is at the forefront of the pro-life movement in Quebec. As president, I was filmed for nearly two hours during various pro-life events, both in Washington and in Quebec. This demonstrates that QLC is doing the heavy lifting where the battle is most intense, and we need your support to do even more.

Why Quebec Matters

Quebec is often seen as the weak link in Canada when it comes to pro-life legislation and politics. For now, it is a very left-leaning province, and the rest of Canada will struggle to move forward until Quebec reconnects with its Christian heritage. That’s why supporting Quebec Life Coalition is crucial not only for Quebec, but for the entire Canadian pro-life movement. As long as Quebec remains secularist and in rebellion against God, it will continue to support abortion; and as long as Quebec supports abortion, the rest of Canada will remain trapped in the Culture of Death.
