A call has gone out to pro-lifers in South Africa to participate in a major national anti-abortion event — the South African March for Life in Durban on October 7.
The event organisers, the National Alliance for Life (NAL), which is the umbrella body for South African pro-life organisations and churches, says it hopes to revive an annual March for Life “where all pro-lifers will unite and stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves”.
“Despite the legalization of abortion in February 1997, there is a groundswell movement among South Africans against this law,” says NAL chairman, Dr Albu van Eeden in a letter inviting pro-lifers to the October march.
He says the NAL was formed to create a platform for times where there was a need for pro-lifers in South Africa to plan and act together. The alliance purposely does not have a constitution in order to facilitate loose associations which allow participating churches and organisations to retain their own identities.
