The Fight for Life<br />
In 1991, Africa Christian Action<br />
also launched Operation Life<br />
which began with the distribution<br />
<strong>of</strong> 15,000 copies <strong>of</strong> Abortion —<br />
The Facts leaflets (over 400,000<br />
copies have since been printed and<br />
distributed in English, Afrikaans<br />
and Xhosa) and 1,000 copies <strong>of</strong><br />
the book, When Does Life Begin?<br />
39 Other Tough Questions about<br />
Abortion. These books were given<br />
to key doctors, pastors, editors and<br />
government <strong>of</strong>ficials throughout<br />
Southern Africa. This led to the<br />
launch <strong>of</strong> Doctors for Life.<br />
Standing for Life<br />
The first pro-life demonstration<br />
was organised by A<strong>CA</strong> in Cape<br />
Town in February 1992, outside<br />
the Argus newspaper. This was<br />
followed by the first Life Chain in<br />
Southern Africa, in March 1992,<br />
on Main Road, Newlands. Since then, A<strong>CA</strong><br />
has organised numerous country-wide Life<br />
Chains every year. A<strong>CA</strong> has also organised<br />
prayer vigils outside parliament and prolife<br />
placard demonstrations, prayer vigils<br />
and sidewalk counselling outside abortion<br />
clinics and Marches for Life National Day<br />
<strong>of</strong> Repentance funeral processions.<br />
Speaking Up for Those Who<br />
Cannot Speak for Themselves<br />
In 1995, A<strong>CA</strong> published Fight<br />
for Life — A Pro-Life Handbook<br />
for Southern Africa. This<br />
was the first pro-life book to be<br />
published in South Africa and<br />
it was enthusiastically received<br />
country-wide. It is now available<br />
as a free PDF book online.<br />
Over the last 20 years, A<strong>CA</strong><br />
has conducted many thousands<br />
<strong>of</strong> public meetings, radio and<br />
TV programmes, services,<br />
lectures, debates, rallies,<br />
workshops, conferences<br />
and seminars.<br />
