If it were possible to go back to October 1967, knowing what we do now, and oppose the legalisation of abortion, I strongly suspect that many conservative Christians would like to think that they would.
If we could go back in time and give evidence that, as warned, abortion would escalate and not just be restricted to extreme cases, resulting in 251,377 babies being killed a year (2022 data), again, I imagine many Christians think they would do so.
But, given what is happening right now, I'm not at all sure that many actually would. Because a similar game-changing moment could occur this week, and the vast majority of British churches and Christians are silent – apart from Catholics.
On Wednesday 16 October, MPs will begin discussing a potentially landmark Bill that the Labour government wants to pass through the UK Parliament.
