Pro-abortion campaigners will launch counter-protest to 40 Days for Life

[Santi2]

Pro-abortion campaigners are to hold a counter-protest outside the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinic in central London on March 30.

The demonstration, organised by Abortion Rights, is timed to coincide with the arrival of Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster Alan Hopes in support of the 40 Days for Life campaign.

The counter-demonstration, similar to the tactics used by pro-abortionists in the US, is the latest sign that the pro-life campaign has been having an impact.

Bishop Alan Hopes of Westminster said: “Together with Catholics, priests and laymen, and with other Christians, I will be offering my prayers for those women who are considering an abortion and I will also be praying that our society will come to respect the sanctity of the life of the unborn child.

“Many priests and lay people have already spent time in prayer outside the BPAS clinic and I am glad to be able to join them for what is a principled and peaceful statement of opposition to our society’s ‘culture of death’.”

"Saint Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
And do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
By the Divine Power of God -
Cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
Who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen. "

The counter-protest might be a good thing: folks`ll be able to see the difference between the behaviour of the pro-lifers and that of the…others.

Old Nick must be worried: couldn`t happen to a nicer bloke!

I am in Great Britain and the parishes here all know about this, hopefully many will be there and many who are not will join in prayer whever they may be. I cannot be there due to health problems, but will be one of those who joins my prayer with that of others
