• Aren’t pro-lifers forcing women to have babies they don’t want?

    Often the opposite is true: pro-lifers work to protect women from being forced to have abortions they don’t want. Abortion coercion is one of the hidden aspects of abortion that SPUC is campaigning to uncover and redress. Abortion coercion is abuse and SPUC is working to make the Department of Health and Social Care recognise coerced abortion as a priority for health and social policy moving forward.

    SPUC has long campaigned for the right of pro-lifers to hold peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities so that they can pray for an end to abortion and offer loving help to women. Hundreds of children are alive today because their mother met a compassionate pro-lifer outside an abortion clinic.
