NOT only do Black Lives Matter and those who have died as a result of Covid-19, but the lives of unborn babies also matter. All human life begins at conception.

On June 11, the Department for Health for England and Wales released statistics to show that in 2019 there were 209,519 abortions in England and Wales, a figure that is increasing each year. The average cost of each abortion is £1,000 and the taxpayer is paying for this via the NHS. This equates to over £209million.

Every one of these lost lives represents a failure of society to protect babies in the womb and a failure to offer full support to women with unplanned pregnancies.
