A group of angry pro-abortion demonstrators forced local police to intervene at the University of Manchester to provide an escort to a pro-life speaker, who also had to take transport to a different location to her accommodation because of concerns about her safety.

For the second time this year, police had to be called to protect pro-life students from a barrage of abuse and physical intimidation by pro-abortion student protesters at the university after Madeline Page, CEO of the Alliance of Pro-life Students (APS), delivered a talk titled “Grill the pro-lifer”.

As Page left the talk with a police escort, a large mob of students followed her down the road screaming abuse at her, forcing her to change her travel arrangements because of concerns about further escalation. Video footage shows the mob hurling abuse and attempting to intimidate the pro-life speaker; many of the protesters are fellow young women, though wearing face masks, while putting up a middle finger toward the camera.
