Earlier this month I made a very brief road trip down to Wellington with Danielle and Katherine for the national March for Life. Despite very changeable weather over the previous few days, the Saturday of the March dawned clear and warm. Over 1200 people turned out from around the country to celebrate life, remember more than 500,000 Kiwi children who lost their lives to abortion, highlight alternatives and support available.
We had an amazing day; the atmosphere was positive and happy -- and despite such a large crowd I saw a number of people I knew! There were pink and blue balloons and ribbons everywhere. We were joined by people of all ages -- babies in front packs to an 85-year-old. There were Catholics, Baptists, Presbyterians and others. There were feminists. There were health professionals and politicians. There were people from all walks of life and with many different belief systems -- all united in the belief that every life is precious and deserves protection.
