About Voice For Life Inc
New Zealand (pop. 4 million) has one of the most alarming rates of mortality of any developed nation. In 2003 alone, over 18,500 people were killed through abortion. For many, choosing to abort an unborn child is part of a cycle of abuse which reaches across many generations and impacts all parts of society.

History
The origins of Voice for Life are to be found in March 1970, with Sir William Liley as its National President.
For the next 34 years, the Society continued to promote recognition of the unborn as ‘unique, human individuals’, increasingly at risk from deliberate abortion.
In 2005 the name Voice For Life Inc was adopted to recognise that respect for the unborn is intrinsically connected with respect for women’s health, the old or infirm, and those at the forefront of bioethical decision-making.
