Abortion at 50: Hundreds of Christians flood Westminster to mourn #8MillionTooMany
by Harry Farley, Christian Today:
Hundreds of Christians gathered in Westminster on Friday to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1967 Abortion Act.
A minute’s silence was held next to Westminster Abbey at 11.04 am, the time the bill was signed, and a mass will be held in Westminster Cathedral – the Catholic heart of the UK – at 5.30pm.
It came as Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn joined more than 100 other MPs calling on the Home Secretary to ban pro-life vigils outside abortion clinics.
A letter, signed by 113 MPs including Corbyn and Vince Cable, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, was sent to coincide with the anniversary that first permitted abortions in Britain.
It comes after Ealing council in West London voted to ban a vigil outside a local clinic in the borough.
