A pro-life organisation, ‘Life’, has been invited to join the Sexual Health Forum, an advisory group that provides recommendations to the government on issues relating to abortion, sex education, STIs and contraception. The full story can be read here.
Life’s appointment is welcome news. The organisation is committed to protecting life from conception until natural death and conducts activities including offering counselling to women facing a crisis pregnancy and providing information on abortion and sexual health.
Pro-abortion supporters are being urged to write to Anne Milton MP to complain about Life, so it is necessary for us to show some support.
Please write to Anne Milton MP, the Minister for Public Health, and express your support for the inclusion of Life on the sexual health forum.
