29 June 2001 Victory for the unborn in Pietermaritzburg
The second and last abortion clinic in Pietermaritzburg has closed as a result of years
of pressure from prolife activists demonstrating outside. Now is the time for Christians
in the rest of the country to stand up and close the abortion clinics in the rest of the
country. Please publicise this victory as widely as possible to encourage others to
action. You could do this by arranging a prayer of thanksgiving in your church service or
adding an article to your church bulletin, newspaper or organising a radio interview for
Pastor King and his supporters or inviting them to speak.

MARIE STOPES CLINIC MOVES OUT OF PIETERMARITZBURG - Marie Stopes Family
Planning Clinic has recently moved out of Pietermaritzburg (PMB). A
spokesman for CFT PMB, Rev Derrick King, says CFT is planning to do all they
can to prevent the continuation of this service. Two private doctors are
planning to make abortion available at a cheaper rate. A nursing sister
working at Marie Stopes admitted to Rev King that the move was due to
financial reasons. Protests by CFT successfully led to the closing down of a
previous abortion clinic in PMB, the Nightingale Family Planning clinic (15
January 1998) and since then a number of protests and demonstrations have
been arranged by CFT outside the Marie Stopes clinic. (CFT PMB, 25 June)
