History
The origins of Voice for Life are to be found in March 1970, when
the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child was established in
Auckland, 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.
