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.

Standing up for life around the world
People all around the world are prepared to stand up for life, as can be seen from the following news:
Legislators in the Dominican Republic vote to modify the constitution to guarantee the right to life from conception to natural death. Catholics pray that those legislators who voted against the pro-life move will "reflect upon their decision".
Thousands of Poles brave a torrential downpour to march for life through the centre of Warsaw, the capital (pictured).
Polls in Spain find that a majority of Spaniards are against the government's plan to allow abortions for children without parental consent.
So there's every reason for hope when there are so many people around the world who support pro-life values.
