Blair as Catholic: SPUC comment

Blair as Catholic: SPUC comment The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), the world's first pro-life lobbying and educational organisation, has commented on the reception of Tony Blair into the Catholic church. "The news about Tony Blair becoming a Catholic is decidedly strange and we are very concerned", said John Smeaton, SPUC national director.

"During his premiership, Tony Blair became one of the world's most significant architects of the culture of death - promoting abortion, experiments on human embryos, including on cloned human embryos, and euthanasia by neglect. "SPUC is writing to Tony Blair to ask him whether he has repented of the anti-life positions he has so openly advocated throughout his political career", John Smeaton concluded.
