It is forty years...

...since the Abortion Act came into force in Britain. It took effect in April 1968. Since then, so many unborn children have been deliberately killed. It's as if the nation had a sort of death-wish: the future, with all its bright promise, destroyed in clinics and hospitals. And human relationships, love, marriage, family life, are all horribly damaged and wounded and messed up in today's Britain, with consequences that are already ghastly and will get much worse.

On April 26th, at 12 noon, there will be a short ceremony at the West Door of Westminster Abbey, organised by Choose Life, bringing together representatives of a number of groups, at which a wreath will be laid and prayers said to markj this tragic anniversary. YOUR PRESENCE will help to make this significant event something which will linger in the memory and perhaps help to bring about change in this tragic situation. Do come.
