March for the Babies

Proverbs 31:8-9

This past Saturday was a very wide opening experience. I went with a group from church into Melbourne for the March for the Babies (pro-life). In the state of Victoria four years ago they made it possible for women to abort their pregnancy all the way up till the day before the baby is born (Abortion Law Reform Act 2008). I remember the first time I heard that and felt so sick inside. At the march I believe they estimated close to 3 thousand people showed up. Our march ended in front of Parliament House where there were a few speakers and all but one mentioned the name of Christ. There were of course people opposing our view (80 people for pro-abortion) and just reading the signs that they carried and listening to what they were yelling just shows how selfish and unfeeling of others we can be. I am definitely glad that I went.

Very yum Trampoline!

After the march, before we caught the train home, we all stopped and got ice cream and enjoyed each others company. Then once we got back to Frankston we stopped and bought some chips and gravy. I'm going to have to say that I really miss good'ol American french fries...and bacon..... :)
