A blog launched on the 41st anniversary of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), the first pro-life organisation in the world, established on 11 January 1967. I wrote this blog in my role as SPUC's chief executive, commenting on pro-life news, reflecting on pro-life issues and promoting SPUC's work. I retired from my post on 31st August 2021 and will therefore be adding no further posts.

SPUC holds nationwide pro-life witness
On Saturday, SPUC supporters took part in nearly 60 Pro-Life Chains throughout the UK. Christine Hudson, organiser of the event in Plymouth, Devon, writes: "These pictures are to prove that we did hold pro-life chains along Exeter Street in Plymouth and that it was freezing cold, blustery and raining at times – a heroic effort all in all! I have taken all [Saturday] afternoon to warm through. This time last year we got sunburnt!" Windswept participants in the Plymouth chain are pictured above. We also put together (mainly for the media) a page with links to photographs of various chains.
