I knew it would be a moving scene-and it was. They sat quietly praying the
rosary in the middle of the wide driveway. The elderly bishop looked like he
came out of a Norman Rockwell painting, while the young friar with him
resembled a figure in a Giotto fresco in the medieval Basilica of St. Francis.
Every demonstration has a sense of drama – a clash of ideas-people dedicated
to opposing points of view and holding them with real emotion.

Introduction

Back in the late 1960s in the United States, pro-abortion groups promised us  that the rewards would be great if we legalized abortion. A group called  NARAL promised us that “Legal abortion will decrease the number of unwanted  children, child abuse cases, and possibly subsequent delinquency, drug  addiction, and a host of social ills believed to be associated with  neglectful parenthood.”1  http://www.lifeissues.net/writers/clo/clo_02bitterfruitsabor.html

Pam with Archbishop Lawrence Henry, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town

After using her material for many years, we were very honoured to welcome
Pam Stenzel in the flesh to South Africa on a short tour earlier this year,
which included Johannesburg, Cape Town and Manzini, Swaziland. Human Life
International hosted Pam and her supporting Act, Mad Dogs and Englishmen,
consisting of Colin Hearn and David Christman when they visited Cape Town.

Abortion remains an emotive issue, not least because it affects our very
definition of life.  But, leaving aside the emotionally charged ethical and
moral issues for a while, let’s take a pragmatic approach.  The common
perception is that abortions can be done either for profit (as by the
private sector and by backstreet abortionists) or not (as by state
institutions and a few philanthropists). However, a third reality has
emerged in South Africa (and indeed worldwide) for which no law makes
adequate provision: the two-stage abortion.
