March to ‘mourn’ aborted babies
PEOPLE opposed to abortion marched to Parliament yesterday to “mourn” all baby deaths due to the procedure.
The march took the form of a funeral procession, led by a hearse.
The event was hosted by the Christian Action Network, which said it was in memory of the hundreds of thousands of babies killed by abortion who never had a funeral.
The network said that on February1, 1997, abortion was legalised in South Africa, and by February 1, 2019 – today – an estimated 1600000 abortions had been performed
The provincial health department said since April last year, 12340 “legal and safe” termination of pregnancies had been performed at 40 public health facilities.
Melissa Hertz, 32, from the organisation Project Life, took part in the march. She said she had an abortion
