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.

Christian nurse reportedly suspended for offering to pray for a patient's recovery
In a country in which Dame Joan Bakewell, who has made several pro-euthanasia statements, is appointed by the government to represent elderly people ... in a country in which one of the most quoted philosophers on pro-life issues, Baroness Mary Warnock, says that that people with disabling conditions have a duty to die prematurely ... in a continent in which the European Commission requested the EU Network of Independent Experts to publish a legal opinion promoting, without any foundation, the right to abortion and the right to euthanasia ... I get very worried when I read today that a Christian nurse from Weston-super-Mare has reportedly been suspended for offering to pray for a patient's recovery.
