March for Life Cape Town 2019

Yesterday marked the anniversary of the legalization of abortion in South Africa. 
On the 1st of February 1997, the Choice On Termination Of Pregnancy Act came into force, providing abortion on demand for a variety of cases.

Each year a Cape Town bases organisation called Africa Christian Action leads a march to parliament to mourn the lives of 1.6 million babies who have been killed by abortion in South Africa, with the money of the taxpayers of South Africa.

A hears lead the way to honour the lives of all the babies who have been killed by abortion and who have never had a chance to have a funeral.

On Thursday I marched beside my daughter and a few of my good friends in memory of the child that I lost to abortion 18 years ago. Here is my abortion story and the reason why I am so passionate about what I do.
I also do online post abortion counselling for anyone who wants to contact me.

I had the honour of speaking at the march and representing my organisation called Project Life. 

I raised awareness about the baby savers in the Western Cape and spoke about the many babies who are found in dumpsters who are in fact victims of third-trimester abortion. 
I also tried to raise awareness of the Project Life website as the website has a list of crisis pregnancy centres and baby savers around South Africa.

My sign this year said "May S.A NEVER follow in the foot steps of New York!!! #latetermabortion" as this past week the New York abortion bill was passed allowing babies to be aborted until birth and therefore allowing late term/third-trimester abortion.

I briefly spoke about the New York abortion bill in my speech and was so surprised to hear that so few people at the march were aware of the New York abortion bill. 

Why is it that this is not on the front page of newspapers in South Africa?

Or at least reported somewhere in the South African media or news.

Many pro-life gynaecologists are saying that it is safer for the mother to have a c-section and let the baby come out alive than it is to first terminate the pregnancy and then have her deliver the dead baby, by induction or c-section.

Theses babies deserve a chance to breathe and a chance to live.

I released this song last year called Think of me and it is a song written from the baby's point of view asking for a chance to live, to love and to be loved.

Many Pro Choicers are arguing that babies who will not be able to survive on the outside of the womb will die anyway. But these babies deserve to be given the chance, and if they are taking their last breaths, deserve to do so in the loving arms of a nurse or a doctor if the mother is unable to do so, or unwilling to do so. Third-trimester abortion is also excruciatingly painful for the baby and the baby will suffer a great deal because these babies have fully developed nervous systems.

Years ago, before abortion was legal in South Africa, people said that it would never happen that in this country. 
They said that it was impossible and that abortion would never become legal.

But look, here we are.

And now people are saying that late-term abortion will never become legal in South Africa.
People are saying that what happened in New York will never happen here.

Let's just pray it stays this way.
