I love the Dolphin Coast not just for its beaches but also for the active Christian community that resides here. For example, for two years now the Christian community have publicly protested abortion. I agree that abortion is wrong because it denies the sanctity of human life. No civilized society permits one human to take the life of another human without punishment, and abortion is no different.
Did you know that most South Africans oppose abortion? This is a fact according to a survey done by the Human Sciences Research Council. Did you know that most political parties including the DA and ANC support legalized abortion?! This is a fact and I have records to prove it.
The ANC initiated and voted for the legalisation of abortion-on-demand saying: “We are committed to reducing levels of unexplained and unwanted pregnancy” (Parliament 1996). The DA also voted for the legalisation of abortion-on-demand saying: “It is the constitutional right of women to make choices about the very private matter of reproduction.” How sad that so many well meaning Christians still vote for the ANC and the DA.
One political party that vehemently opposes abortion is the ACDP. In parliament, the African Christian Democratic Party voted against the legalisation of abortion saying: “We believe that life begins in the womb and that unborn babies should be constitutionally protected... We deplore abortion as a grave evil and a national tragedy.”
To all the Christians in the Dolphin Coast: being part of an anti-abortion protest is noble. But then again, voting for a political party, like the DA & ANC, that supports abortion is tantamount to YOU being an accomplice to murder. So I call on Christians everywhere to start voting out of their convictions - and not out of party sentiments.
The DA does not support abortion. It hasn't taken a position on it and allows it's MP a free vote on the issue. I wish the 'Christian' party would be a little more careful with the truth...
