An estimated 7,000 pro-life campaigners of all ages filled Parliament Square in London on Saturday to participate in the ‘March for Life’.

The annual public witness, now in its ninth year, processed through Westminster before stopping to hear a series of speakers.

Lois McClatchie-Miller from ADF (Alliance Defending Freedom) told the crowd ‘The apparently ’empowering’ mantra of ‘my body, my choice’ has led to a deficit of male responsibility, allowing men to shrug and say ‘your body, your choice, your problem’.

Scott Klusendorf, president of The Life Training Institute urged attendees to enter into conversations with those around them on abortion but reminded them ‘We need to have the confidence to make our case persuasively’.

Co-director of the event, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce shared her experience of being arrested for praying silently near an abortion centre
