After last year’s well attended Remembrance Walk and Rally for Life, the Coalition has decided to continue this approach to mark the anniversary of legalised abortion in Western Australia.
This year the Remembrance Walk and Rally for Life will be held on the evening of Tuesday 24 May, 2011 commencing 7pm at Theatre Gardens, Bagot Rd, Subiaco. The walk will pass King Edward Memorial Hospital which is the only site in Western Australia approved by the Minister for Health for performing abortions on babies over 20 weeks gestation. These babies are killed after two doctors on a government appointed panel approve their abortion. Such approvals are based on eugenic grounds – the baby having some undesirable disability.
The last sentence of capital punishment was carried out in WA in 1964 and it was abolished in 1984. However, about 420 babies have been formally executed at KEMH by government orders since May 1998. Recently we learned that 14 of these babies were born alive following a post 20 week abortion - but left to die.
The walk will continue down Hay St to Parliament House (total distance 3 km). There, walkers will be met by prolife MPs. The rally is expected to conclude by 9 pm.
The rally has been organised by the Coalition for the Defence of Human Life.
