Our Beliefs

  • The pre-born child is a unique, living, human being with same human rights as the rest of us.
  • (This is supported by advance scientific evidence which confirms that the child has: Human DNA; has his/her own unique genes; is alive and growing; foetal heartbeat can be detected (currently) at approximately 22 days from conception.)
  • The right to life is the most fundamental of human rights and protecting human life at all its stages is the hallmark of a true, caring, compassionate society.
  • The fundamental role of every government is to provide security for its citizens and to maintain public order. This cannot be done without legislating against certain choices. Any legislation which goes against the protection of human life therefore undermines the foundation of the rule of law.
  • Abortion is the direct violation on the right to life of the pre-born person.
  • Abortion poses serious risk to the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental well-being of the mother.
  • The life, dignity and rights of the mother and the child are equal and need not be mutually exclusive.
  • Improved understanding of the reasons leading women to abort is required in order to best provide an infrastructure which supports women and their families effectively.
  • Alternative positive, life-affirming options and support need to be provided for women in open “crisis pregnancies” during pregnancy, birth and beyond.
  • Fathers are parents too and their needs and views are also to be considered.
  • Parents who have in the past lost a child through abortion need to be treated with understanding and respect, and have counselling and support offered to them if required.
  • Responsibility for the protection and nurturing of life lies with the whole community and not just government. By working together much can be achieved.
