Mary Wagner received a Queen 's Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012 . Canadian Conservative MP Maurice Vellacott issued her certificate with the words : “ Your faithful battle for justice for pre-born children , with your willingness to suffer hardship and personal deprivation , is a source of strength and inspiration for many . May God richly bless your sacrifice for these most innocent victims . ” Because she was in jail awaiting trial , Vellacott justified the award saying that " Peaceful civil disobedience is an appropriate method when trying to protect defenceless , voiceless human beings " She was nominated for the 2018 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought by 42 European members of parliament , mentioning her work safeguarding the rights of those who can not speak for themselves
