SPUC is today launching a pro-life prayer chain campaign. Director of Campaigns Antonia Tully said: “In 2020 we cannot go out on the street to hold up our placards proclaiming our pro-life messages to passers-by. But we can pray in our homes.”

Pro-life chains

Every year on the Saturday nearest to the 27 April, SPUC holds a public act of witness to commemorate the unborn babies killed by abortion since the implementation of the Abortion Act on 27 April 1968.

Since 27 April 1968, 9 million unborn babies have lost their lives through abortion and untold women, men and families have been wounded.

The current coronavirus crisis makes it impossible for the usual outdoors witness to go ahead. Instead, SPUC is asking supporters to join a Pro-life Prayer Chain inside your own home.

Covering the country with prayer

Antonia Tully said: “All we are asking you to do is to commit to praying for an end to abortion on Monday 27 April 2020.

“Please make this commitment to pray.  Let us know you are doing so by going to our website and filling out the ‘Join the Pro-Life Prayer Chain’ form. There are also some suggested prayers.

“We want to cover the country with prayer for unborn babies and their mothers,” she went on. “So let us know you are taking part.

“You can choose which prayer you say and you can pray for as long or as short a time as suits you. Thank you for your support. Together we will end abortion.”
