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. SPUC has been a leader in the educational and political battle against abortion, human embryo experimentation and euthanasia since then. I write 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.

Watch this beautiful anti-abortion video
I'm grateful to That The Bones You Have Crushed May Thrill and to Paul, my son, for drawing attention to the beautiful video simply called Pro-Life Song and Video (Anti-abortion). By the way we should be proud to be "anti-abortion" and we should use that way of describing ourselves more often, especially after viewing this video.
I disagree with That The Bones You Have Crushed May Thrill on one point: I think the song that accompanies the video is great and should be turned on loud when viewing it!
I became involved in SPUC after graduating, when I established a branch in south London in 1974. I have worked full-time for SPUC for 33 years. I became director of SPUC in the UK in 1996, having been general secretary since 1978. I was elected vice-president of International Right to Life Federation in 2005. At UN conferences in Cairo, Copenhagen, Beijing, Istanbul and Rome, I helped coordinate more than 150 pro-life/pro-family groups resulting in pro-life victories in Cairo, Istanbul and Rome. I was educated at Salesian College, London, before going to Oxford where I graduated in English Language and Literature. I qualified as a teacher, becoming head of English at a secondary school. I am married to Josephine. We have a grown-up family and we live in north London.
