Jenny Gurry completed her Degree in Business then worked in marketing in the corporate world for some time. It was after completing an Advanced Diploma in Ministry that she begun her journey into helping women face unplanned pregnancy. Now newly married and loving life, Jenny has been involved in the life movement for just over 3 years now. She began Diamond Pregnancy Support after she saw that there was a need for women who were facing an unplanned pregnancy to find the support they needed. After 3 years, they are reaching over 100 families a year and reaching women from all different walks of life and all different backgrounds and being part of the answer for women facing unplanned pregnancy and the unborn.

The Passion 4 Life Team is an amazing group of young (13-15 years old) ladies — Ebony, Grace, Liana and Jacinta — who are passionate about saving the unborn. They are planning their second Blue Mountains walk of 70kms to raise awareness of abortion and funds for pro-life initiatives.

100,000 dead babies

Archbishop Barry Hickey will launch the Western Australian Remembrance Walk and Rally for Life, scheduled to begin at 7 pm on Tuesday 25 May at St Mary’s Cathedral in Victoria Square.

This year will mark 12 years of abortion with state approval in Western Australia. Sadly by May 2010 over 100,000 children will have been killed by abortion in that State since 1998.

Rather than just holding a traditional Rally for Life at Parliament House, organisers, The Coalition for the Defence of Human Life, hope to make this year’s commemoration a pilgrimage of prayer, repentance and resolution.

Beginning from St Mary’s Cathedral, thay will march along St Georges Terrace. The marchers will stop for a prayer of repentance outside Government House, where on 26 May 1998 the WA Governor gave the Royal Assent to the abortion bill, ignoring the 10,000 signatures gathered on a petition against the bill over the preceding weekend.

Further down the Terrace they will pause again outside the Premier’s office to remind Colin Barnett, who voted for the abortion bill in 1998, and his government, that the first duty of the executive government of Western Australia is to ensure that all its innocent citizens – particularly the most vulnerable - are fully protected by the law.

The evening march will finish at Parliament House where the participants expect to be joined by many fine MPs from all parties who share a commitment to the defence of human life.

Please mark this date on your calendar now and invite your friends and family to join you. Children are very welcome at this event. Electric candles will be provided for all participants as well as “precious feet” badges as a memento of this occasion.
