7,000 march against abortion in London

A record number of people gathered in London for the annual UK March for Life [1], organisers have reported.

According to police estimates the event attracted 7,000 supporters for the march which ended with a gathering in Parliament Square.

It comes just a few days after home DIY abortions using the two-part abortion pill became standard practice in England and Wales.

The event was supported by pro-life organisations from across the UK, under the theme: ’10 Million Too Many’ – a reference to the approximate number of abortions in the UK since the Abortion Act was passed in 1967.

Referring to the recent overturning of Roe v Wade in the US, Madeline Page of The Alliance of Pro-life Students said: “We’ve seen a steady increase in the amount of young people wanting to take part in pro-life events since the news from America”.
