the war against the unborn

The womb is meant to be a place of safety and nurturing. It has become a battlefield like no other. 

Friday, 27 April 2018, marked 50 years since the 1967 Abortion Act came into force. Abortions began in the UK 6 months after the 1967 Abortion Act received Royal Assent on 27 October 1967. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) was founded in 1967 to fight the Act. SPUC marked the anniversary with the publication of a new book, Abortion Matters. Earlier in the week, SPUC representatives met with pro-life MPs, to give them a copy of the book, and to thank them for their witness. To order this book, follow the link 1.

Antonia Tully, SPUC’s Director of Campaigns, said: “Since the 1967 Abortion Act came into force, nearly 9 million babies have lost their lives to abortion, and countless women have been hurt, both physically and emotionally. “This is a tragic anniversary, but we wanted to take the opportunity to thank those MPs who have bravely defied the proabortion consensus and used their votes and their voices to stand up for unborn babies.”
