March For Life Organizer Elaborates On Scandal: If I'd Known What Wordmark Represented, I'd Have Desecrated It

Jim Hughes, President of the Campaign Life Coalition, digs himself a deeper hole:

Hughes, however, says that CLC is more than happy to remove the [illegally used Canada] wordmark from [CLC] banners, and will do so immediately.

“If I’d known that there was a logo representing the federal government on the signs,” said Hughes, “I would have had it ripped off because of the continuous support by the federal government for the killing of two million children in this country.” "

Wilfully destroying national symbols to score cheap political points, an act Mr. Hughes contemplates in the above-passage, is a distasteful feature of modern democratic discourse, but one we must necessarily defend in the name of free thought and free speech.

That said, Mr. Hughes really ought to be grateful that fellow Conservatives like Mark Warawa have never gained the upper-hand in this country.
