London, 16 April 2010 - A leading pro-life group will distribute leaflets outside GPs’ surgeries where abortions are performed. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) is responding to news that the number of such surgeries has tripled following government approval. The family doctors’ surgeries carry out so-called early medical abortions using the RU-486 drug, also known as mifepristone.
John Smeaton, SPUC director, said: "Abortion kills children and therefore we must not allow abortion to be normalised in this way. Women deserve to know the truth about the humanity of unborn children and about the physical and psychological damage abortion does to women. SPUC will therefore be leafleting GPs' surgeries nationwide with scientifically-established medical research which explains how abortion kills children and hurts women."
