Pro-lifers have held a roadside vigil in Sheffield highlighting the truth about abortion.

30 members of SPUC from Sheffield and Rotherham gathered on the approach road to Meadowhall Shopping Centre on Saturday. They formed a chain, standing along the kerbside at intervals holding placards which bring home the reality of abortion.

This year's event was arguably the most effective roadside witness ever held in Sheffield. [SPUC, 3 May]
