For the ninth time in London, he passed the March for Life on Saturday, the number of which the police estimated to be 7,000.
The national rail strike that took place that day had a negative impact on attendance. However, compared to last year the participants did not participate less. Among them were many young people, but besides representatives of both older generations and children. The countermanifest besides gathered more supporters of the legality of killing children than previously.
– The seemingly strengthening mantra “my body, my choice” led to a deficit of male responsibility, allowing men to shrug their arms and say: “Your body, your choice, your problem”— She talked about the pro-abortional propaganda of Lois McClatchie-Miller of the Alliance of defence of Freedom.

Scott Klusendorf, president of The Life Training Institute, urged March participants to take on a convincing subject of protecting life in their own environments.
Among the organizers of Saturday's event, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce spoke about her own experiences of prayer before abortion centers.
– When I was arrested for the second time, I was told that my prayers were a crime. I'll tell you what's truly offensive. She said. – It is that our country has the highest number of abortions in history, of which 100,000 per year are abortions again, and the only reaction we see in the government is repression against those who peacefully offer pregnant women an alternative.

However, a peculiar stir was caused by Ellie, a young female who expressed her deep regret for having had 3 abortions. In order to be heard while trying to suppress her counter-demonstrants, she had to address her listeners with a raised voice. – I think I can say for all female standing here present after an abortion that abortion did not give us freedom, but 1 way or another it made us slaves – she summarized her testimony.
