The word ‘abortion’ describes any medical procedure that ends a pregnancy, by deliberately ending the life of an unborn child.
In the United Kingdom, over 200,000 unborn children have their lives ended each year through abortion.
Right To Life UK campaigns for the recognition of the rights of unborn children along with the creation of a medical system and society where there is increased practical care and support given to women facing an unplanned pregnancy.
We protect and defend the right to life of every human being from conception to natural death through our work across education, politics, the media and through a large network of people in constituencies across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
We are committed to an evidence-based approach to life issues, uniting people from different political ideologies and philosophical beliefs (including those who are non-religious, religious, or agnostic)
