New British-Funded Programme to Promote Abortion at Community Clinics in South Africa
The following is from a newsletter I received today. Please read and send the link to this post to others. We have to be aware of entities that promote death squads in our hospitals and medical facilities. If abortion is a choice, it is a choice to murder innocent lives.
New British-Funded Programme to Promote Abortion at Community Clinics in South Africa
Dr Judy Kluge, Head of the Family Planning Unit at Stellenbosch University, and Prof Stefan Gebhardt, Head of General Specialist Services at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, were chosen to lead the programme.
Training to Kill Babies
According to an article published on the Stellenbosch University website in July 2017, pro-abortion training is being conducted at the Mowbray, Tygerberg, Khayelitsha, Mitchell's Plain and Michael Mapongwana community clinics. “Training includes lectures, interactive sessions where trainees practise on pelvic models and partake in group discussions, and role playing the lecture content," South African LSC programme manager, Valerie Truby, explains. “We want to train 150 people by the end of the year." Gebhardt says the RCOG has applied for funding for the next 10 years to expand the project to the rest of the Cape Town metro and the province.

Perverting Their Healing Profession
These pro-abortionists seem to have noticed the pro-life stand of many doctors and nurses throughout the country, who reject perverting their healing profession to kill babies.
According to the LSC programme summary, obstetricians, gynaecologists and allied healthcare workers are “ideally positioned” to promote abortions, but “unfortunately often don't regard this as a priority”. The LSC aims to “increase providers' knowledge of the abortion legislation, strengthen their capacity to provide counsel about pregnancy options, improve access to medical abortion and post-abortion contraception, and raise the providers' standing within the profession through a professional accreditation process to address the stigma associated with abortion.” Reading behind these pro-abortion euphemisms, this means they want to teach health professionals to lie to women and tell them that abortion is only removing a ‘blob of tissue’, not a baby and that abortion will help and not harm women.

Real Reasons Why Doctors Reject Abortion
The real reasons why doctors, nurses and midwives reject abortion is because they understand that every abortion stops a beating heart. They know just how awful a job it is to have to see the body parts of the dead baby that they have removed and to have to confront the women who most of the time do not want to do this but feel they have no other choice.
These health workers who refuse, have seen the emotional burnout and psychological damage their colleagues have been through. Furthermore, being an abortionist is not consistent with the image that the medical community wants to project. While few may admit it, most realise that no one goes through the ordeal of medical school to be known as an abortionist.

Neither “safe”, nor a “choice”
Abortion is never safe – a helpless pre-born baby is killed and the mother is often physically, and always psychologically wounded (as numerous peer-reviewed studies on Post Abortion Syndrome testify). Other physical consequences of abortion include infections, a perforated uterus or a lacerated cervix. Abortion also increases a woman’s chance of contracting breast cancer later in life. The pre-born baby does not choose to die! The rhetoric of choice also hides the reality of coercion. Abortion is often someone else’s “choice.” 64 percent of American women who have had abortions felt pressured by others and this pressure is significant. A woman’s choice to keep her baby may involve loss of home, family or essential support, or abuse that can escalate to violence. Homicide is the leading killer of pregnant women.

Real Choices
Pro-lifers uphold the sanctity of life – that every life is valuable to God. We provide women with real choices (alternatives) and loving support, not just one choice – abortion – that pro-abortionists so often coerce women into choosing. Over 62 crisis pregnancy centres and mothers’ homes across the country help women to clearly think through all their options.

Understand Your Right to Conscientious Objection
Many doctors and nurses are not aware of their constitutional right to conscientious objection and many fear that if they do object they will lose their job. Doctors for Life has detailed the legal rights of health workers to be involved in any part of abortion procedures and can provide further information: mail@dfl.org.za, 032 - 481 5550.

Take a Stand for the Right to Life of the Pre-Born
The National March for Life (Durban) and Life Chains which will be held throughout the country, on 1 October, will be one of the positive and practical ways that you can stand up for the sanctity of life and speak up for the right to life of pre-born babies.

“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” Proverbs 31:8
Speak Up for the Pre-born
Through these Life Chains we pray that God will enable us to reach:
Through these Life Chains we pray that God will enable us to reach:
- Mothers who are considering abortion,
- Medical personnel who must decide whether to participate in abortions or not,
- Christians who need to consider volunteering to work at a Crisis Pregnancy Centre,
- Pastors who need to begin preaching on when life begins and how we are to love our pre-born neighbours,
- Journalists who should present the other side of the abortion story,
- Politicians who need to enact legislation to protect pre-born babies from the violence of abortion,
- Lives that will be saved.
“If you falter in times of trouble, how small is your strength! Rescue those who are led away to death; hold back those staggering towards slaughter. If you say, but we knew nothing about this, does not He who weighs the heart perceive it? Will He not repay each person according to what he has done?” Proverbs 24:10 -12
Pro-life sermons, Powerpoints, articles, books, DVDs, leaflets and posters are available to help you mobilise your congregation in the Fight for Life. Pro-life speakers from Africa Christian Action can be invited to inform and inspire your school or congregation.
