One of Us campaign – how are we doing?...

Posted on 15 April 2013.

The importance of protecting the human embryo is clear. We must reverse the scientific trend which treats early human life as disposable experimental tissue with no real value. Well done to those who have signed the One of Us petition so far. The UK now has 4,624 signatures on the One of Us petition. Since last week, we gained...

In the past two days no one can have missed the world coverage of the blind Chinese human rights activist, Chen Guang Cheng, and his attempt to find asylum within the American Embassy.

A Latvian mother is appealing to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), after losing in her various national courts, claiming that the birth of a daughter with Downs Syndrome was a ‘wrongful’ birth and that had she been provided with prenatal diagnosis she would have aborted the child.

China, as the whole world knows, has an abysmal record on human rights. Many of their violations gain international condemnation. However, one does not. I am talking of course about China’s draconian One Child Policy. Even Amnesty International has been complicit as they proudly vaunt abortion as a woman’s right. Where are the rights of the...

Jim Dobbin MP has put forward an Early Day Motion regarding the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists’ recent, thoroughly biased, consultation on their amended guidelines for abortion practioners.

The ProLife Alliance is very disturbed by the recent announcement by Boots Chemists that they plan to sell Levonelle, the morning after pill, via their website. This is a profit-motivated strategy with little regard for women’s health or any ethical considerations. Their standards’ director, Paul Bennett is quoted in the Daily Mail (14/8/2010)...

The horrifying report in today’s Sunday Times that some 80 IVF pregnancies a year are terminated, is particularly shocking given the accepted presumption that an IVF pregnancy is a wanted one. There is no indication of what formal reasons were given for the abortions in question, but the report suggests that splitting with a partner and pressure...

Advertising abortion on television is but one of the highly tendentious issues on Marie Stopes International’s (MSI) current agenda. In mid May, Madame Li Bin, communist China’s top Population Minister, had a meeting in London with MSI hierarchy to discuss plans to open 3 new sexual health clinics in China. This is reported in today’s...

What does a hung Parliament mean for pro-life issues? Britain hasn’t experienced a hung Parliament for many decades. So the question on many pro-life supporters lips is: what does a hung Parliament mean for pro-life issues? There are few easy answers.

All prolife supporters will be heartened by the election result at Oxford and Abingdon, where Evan Harris MP, a determined advocate of abortion, euthanasia and embryo research, lost his seat. Prolifers have long regarded Evan Harris as one of their main opponents in Parliament and also in the medical profession. There is reason to think that his...

Evan Harris fails to retain his seat...

Posted on 9 May 2010.

The unexpected failure of the Liberal Democrat MP Evan Harris, to retain his seat in the General Election has been greeted with much enthusiasm by pro-life voters. Dr Harris was undoubtedly a major force in Parliament, an outspoken supporter of abortion rights, and an energetic proponent of utilitarian scientific novelties. During the long run-up...

The ProLife Alliance is appalled that the Department of Health has chosen to appeal against the ruling of the Information Tribunal to disclose abortion statistics to the ProLife Alliance. ‘We have been asking since 2005 for full statistics regarding abortions for disability,’ said a spokesperson for the ProLife Alliance. ‘It is a reprehensible...

ProLife Alliance seeking truth and transparency about abortion.

Late abortion figures for totals under 10 described as ‘statistics of little value’ Not unexpectedly the Department of Health marched into the Information Tribunal this morning circulating a page from the Daily Mail (not usually their favourite newspaper) reporting the killing of the American abortionist, Dr George Tiller. This was just the latest...

ProLife Alliance seeking truth and transparency about abortion Babies are aborted post 24-weeks in the United Kingdom and not even worthy of an openly recorded number on a sheet of statistics.
