The participants walked through the town’s centre singing and rejoicing, “expressing their solidarity, respect and love for both unborn and born children, their mothers, fathers and grandparents, for our families and Croatia,” the organisers said in a statement.
The coordinator Terezija Tržić said that they were marching for all women needing their support, love and help, as well as for social, legal and any other protection of unborn children.
“We never ever ‘help’ mothers terminate the life of their children. The woman is the mistress of her own body, but the moment she becomes pregnant, she carries another body in her own body – the body of her son or daughter. A pregnant woman is already a mother,” the statement said.
Another coordinator, Boris Prpić, said that today was a special day because they were again marching for life after a string of earthquakes had devastated this area last year.
“Surveys show that 75 percent of women who have had an abortion say they did it for economic reasons or because of community pressure. It is therefore our responsibility to care about protecting life from conception to a natural death. We want to encourage the government to take concrete measures to help mothers,” Prpić said.
