Margaret Tighe, who valiantly led the pro-life movement in Australia for over 60 years, has died at the age of 94.
Born in 1932, Margaret sacrificed her career as a pharmacist as well as precious family time to devote herself to the pro-life movement over so many years.
Remarkably, until her passing Margaret was still contributing to the ongoing success of the organisation.
"She has been an inspirational leader in a movement that suffers many injustices by those who oppose the undeniable human right – the inalienable right to life," said Alan Tyson, Vice President, Committee of Management and staff of The Right to Life Australia.
"Margaret was a determined and indefatigable leader against all odds."
Margaret had recently said: “It is most important The Right to Life Australia and our supporters ‘keep on keeping on' with our important work.”
She was a tireless campaigner and protestor for the rights of the unborn, despite facing immense criticism and backlash throughout her life.
Her innate ability as a powerful strategist made her a fearsome adversary and she undeniably has been the most recognised leader of the pro-life movement in Australia’s history.
Her death will be felt deeply in Australia's pro-life circles and for all those who defend the unborn.
