According to SAPA, The South African Press Association, a group calling
itself the Christian Action network, held a small pro-life march, on
the first day of this month, featuring about 80 protesters, in Cape
Town (The "Mother City"), protesting at the reported +- 900 000 (Nine
Hundred thousand) children aborted via what the network notes to quite
directly be taxpayers' money, since February 1997. The protesters
seemingly were lead by a small white coffin, in a white hearse, with
the protesters dressed in mourning black, and carrying placards.

The group's international co-ordinator, Taryn Hodgson, says that the
protesters desire a constitutional amendment declaring life as
beginning at conception. The ruling African National Congress (ANC)
party in South Africa, has since 1994 believed abortion to be the
inalienable right of women, who can procure one as young as age twelve,
when even kissing a boy is illegal in South Africa. Abortion was
controversially pushed through parliament by the ANC, under the
leadership of former president Nelson Mandela. The vast majority of
South Africans, continue to be opposed to abortion, according to a poll
published some time ago by South African media.
