There's no denying that the organisers of the March for Life UK have worked incredibly hard to develop the March for Life into a professionally run and inspiring event. This year as usual there are some speakers of a certain calibre, Lila Rose of Live Action for instance, and 3 UK Bishops will be attending, which is quite an achievement in itself. However, there is something seriously wrong with the March, and it needs to be addressed now, rather than some years down the line.
This event is far too good to be attended by a couple of thousand people!
Only you can address this problem. Please come yourself and invite your friends, and even the luke-warm pro-lifers, this will warm them up for sure!
50 years on from the abortion act being passed here, and 8.7 million lives - about the size of the current population of London, if not this year, when will you come?

I have always found that one of the main criticisms directed at prolife campaigners is that opposition to abortion is somehow a religious belief and therefore not relevant to the majority of people who are not religious.So I am really not sure of the wisdom of having three bishops at this event.
ReplyDeleteWhatever we do, some will find an excuse to dismiss it. The Abortion Act passed in this country partly, if not completely, because the Bishops agreed to "stay out of it" for the reasons you mention. Let's not keep making the same mistakes again and aain. There was a growing number of people of different religions and some of no religion at the March and also coming into the pro-life movement too though.
