On the surface, it has been a hard year for the pro-life movement in the UK. We have seen abortion up to birth achieve success in the House of Commons with hardly any controversy.
We have seen assisted suicide pushed forward towards legalisation. All the while, the voices of the vulnerable, the unborn, the older generation, the disabled – as well as the hardly-disabled-but-still-an-inconvenience-to-society – are ignored and silenced.
In the teeth of opposition, pro-life work becomes more important, not less, and it behoves us to value life even more when it counts with others for so little. We now have the advantage that people are more aware of us, and we must use this.
