Hi <<First Name(s)>>
 There has been significant media interest in the Open Letter to the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern from a group of eight women who have all experienced abortion.
Click on the link below to read / watch / and hear the media coverage - including a number of interviews with spokesperson Barbara Hill from Living with Colour - a healing and recovery programme used successfully in many countries around the world for women who have experienced abortion. (Barbara did a powerful presentation at our Forum on the Family in 2015 - which you can also watch below).
Media coverage of the Open Letter has included TV3's Newshub, Radio NZ's news and an interview on Morning Report, Newstalk ZB news, Prime News, and an extended interview with Newstalk ZB Wellington's Heather du Plessis-Allan.
Although Family First authorised the advertisement and contributed significantly to the costs of placing this Open Letter, only one of the signatories (our spokesperson Marina Young from the Buttons Project) is directly connected to us.
As mentioned in our last email, we are so grateful for the availability, bravery and commitment of these women to speak up and share their personal experience.
We honour them.
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Please share the Open Letter. Get the discussion going. Ask your local MP, your friends, work colleagues, and family members, their answer to the key question -
  When does humanity begin?
The red line represents the seamless stream of time from conception to birth. Where on that timeline would you mark the moment human life begins? What happened in that moment to turn growing human tissue into a growing human being? A failure to locate the mark – or a failure to be cautious in doing so – may find us inadvertently killing human beings rather than merely ‘removing human tissue.’ And a failure to acknowledge that many suffer after abortion is a failure to care for women’s health."
