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 />
