This yr’s March for Life within the UK is predicted to be the most important on record, with 1000’s of pro-lifers expected to descend on London on 6 September.
While the March for Life has for many years been an enormous event within the US political calendar, its British equivalent has a much briefer and more modest history.
Starting in 2013 in Birmingham with just a couple of hundred determined people, the British event has grown substantially in only over a decade, moving to London in 2018 and drawing as much as 10,000 people last yr.
This yr’s event is anticipated to be the most important ever and may very well be of greater importance following the House of Commons’ recent vote in favour of the whole decriminalisation of abortion at any point during a pregnancy.
That controversial vote has yet to turn into law, because it must still go through the Lords and receive royal assent.
Pro-life activists hope a big turnout will help impress upon parliamentarians the strength of feeling against such a radical position on abortion.
Catherine Robinson, spokesperson for Right To Life UK, said, “We encourage all those that value life to come back to the March for Life UK and make your voice heard.”
The event will begin at 10am on the Emmanuel Centre where there might be a variety of pro-life stalls and a ‘Pro-life Human Rights Summit’.
The march itself will begin at 1:30pm and can finish with a rally in Parliament Square.
Speaking on the rally might be Carla Lockhart MP, Chair of the Pro-Life All-Party Parliamentary Group; Sara Spencer, a student midwife who was suspended for her pro-life views; Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, co-director of March for Life UK, who has been arrested twice and is currently under investigation for silently praying near abortion clinics; and abortion survivor Josiah Presley.
