Are you concerned with any particular issue at the moment? Is it the killing of seals or education cut-backs that make you feel incensed?

Issues are an integral part of our lives. There is always some sort of controversy whether its at local or national level. So for us the right to life is an issue, that while it seems very low key at present, we want to bring the issue to your attention.

Have you considered lately the issue of abortion? Is it a black and white issue for you - that you are either pro or anti abortion, or do you consider youself neither for or against? Have you heard youself say, I don't want to hear about it, or, let's get off this topic!

We read recently where the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child had been trying to educate the decision makers — parliament and so on. Meanwhile abortions continued and the public has become less aware of the issue. For many New Zealanders now, abortion has become an accepted fact.

At Liferight, we believe any individual has the right to lead a full life. To abort a potential child takes away that right — a person takes it upon themselves to decide that life isn't important for that other being.

Take time to consider that statement — to judge whether another being should be allowed to live. Decisions that were made by several world leaders and are now being made for Chinese and Vietnamese refugees.

It is important that you become aware of what's going on around you. Make decisions and stick to them. We tend to skirt some issues but we must be prepared to stand up for what we think is right.

Certainly in today's society where everything has to be convenient because we are moving so fast, abortion is the easy answer.

Make your decision today and stick to it.
