On December 5th in Wellington, New Zealand, over 1,000 pro-life participants marched from Civic Square to Parliament, many of them carrying signs that read, “Both lives matter.” Right to Life New Zealand<\/a> reported that the goal was “to give a strong message to our Parliament, our government and to the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, the architect of the anti-life and anti-feminist Abortion Legislation Act 2020, that we are totally opposed to the decriminalisation of the killing of the unborn and the state funded genocide against our defenceless unborn children,” adding, “It is always a crime against humanity to kill an innocent unborn child.” Earlier this year, a pro-life march was held<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0Christchurch, which also drew over 1,000 marchers.<\/p>\n

RTL NZ notes that the marchers were addressed by MP Simon O’Connor and former MP Agnes Loheni, both pro-life, along with other pro-life leaders in the country.\u00a0Live Action president and founder Lila Rose also addressed the marchers virtually from the United States, encouraging New Zealanders to continue in their fight for the right to life of the most vulnerable \u2014 our children, “our future.”<\/p>\n
