John Smeaton, SPUC's National Director, said: "These pictures are
a wonderful reminder of the fact that the unborn child is a living
human being. These pictures are of babies as young as 12 weeks'
gestation, the age at which a large percentage of abortions are carried
out in this country. Tragically, unborn children such as these are
killed at a rate of one every three minutes. We hope and pray though
that many lives will be saved by these awe-inspiring pictures. We
challenge abortion providers, in the interests of informed consent, to
show these pictures to women seeking abortion.
"However, it is essential that legislative proposals aimed at changing the abortion law are not put to parliament in this the most anti-life parliament in history because we are certain that a majority of MPs would vote to make abortion even more widely available."
