Prolife NZ Tour 2011 – Creating a Prolife NZ

The 2011 Prolife NZ tour aims to throw light on the issue of abortion here in New Zealand. Over 18,000 abortions take place each year. Their goal is to increase people’s awareness about abortion, and to train the next generation of pro-lifers to speak out on this social injustice 

This year they are delighted to introduce two incredible high profile pro-life leaders from the States…

Bryan Kemper runs a thought-provoking blog aimed primarily at youth atBryanKemper.com.

He is the founder of StandTrue Pro-Life and the Pro-Life Day of Silent Solidarity.

Bryan has spent years reaching out to youth and encouraging this generation to get involved, and now he has endeavored to continue that outreach with Stand True Ministries.

Stand True is an organization that asks of young people, “Will you stand?”

Bryan has certainly chosen to, and he can only hope and pray that others will too.

Jill Stanek blogs at JillStanek.com, a must-read for all pro-lifers.

Jill has previously worked as a registered nurse in the Labour & Delivery Department at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. She discovered not only were abortions being committed there, but babies were being aborted alive, and left to die without medical care.
When hospital leaders said that they would not stop, Jill went public and has become a national figure in the effort to protect both born and pre-born infants.

Jill has been quoted in the national media on television, on radio, in print, and by local and national legislators.

Jill is awesome. You’ll love her!

Press Release: Wellington Protest Against FPA Abortion License

Pro-life Kiwis will on Friday march in solidarity with the unborn, protesting the abortion bid by the Family Planning Clinic.

The protest coincides with the 30 November end date for the petition put forward by Sue Roe. The petition calls for the Abortion Supervisory Committee to deny the Family Planning Association’s request to be permitted to commit abortions against mothers and their pre-born children up to 9 weeks at their Hamilton clinic.

The Family Planning Association has previously announced its intention to convert all of its centres into providers of chemical abortions. If the Hamilton clinic is granted a license it will be a matter of time before New Zealand receives the dubious honour of having 30 new abortion clinics throughout the country.

Women and girls of any age will be able to come into the clinic without an appointment, receive counselling and then go ahead with an abortion in the same visit.

“This is terrible as mothers will be compelled to make an abortion decision within a very short time-frame,” says march co-organiser Andy Moore. “This will lead to women being encouraged to have an abortion, taking the pill and then regretting their decision shortly afterwards.”

“They want to be allowed to kill children with the chemical abortion method,” he says. “The first pill starves the baby of essential nutrients followed by the second pill about 48 hours later which artificially stimulates an extremely premature birth. It’s an unthinkably awful way for anyone to die. Not only this, but often the baby is pushed out when the mother is at home, occasionally alive and then dying very shortly afterwards. RU486 abortions not only destroy innocent human life but are often a traumatic experience for the mother.”

Marchers will gather in front of Parliament at 4:30pm on Friday 27 November, marching to the Margaret Sparrow Family Planning Clinic at 35 Victoria Street. All are welcome to this peaceful march.
