Spot the difference - Setting an example other nations would be proud of
Two volunteers arrested for peacefully educating about abortion
On the 10th of August two volunteers were arrested for showing what abortion does to an unborn child outside Wistons abortion clinic in Chatsworth Road, Brighton.The police acted on complaints from people who said they were offended, arresting two of the team holding a large banner showing an early abortion. This is the second time we have been arrested just for educating about who the unborn child is and what abortion does to him or her. The only thing the police objected to was the banners. The behaviour and language of the volunteers was never brought into question.
Whilst we respect the police, we detest the bad and ambiguous laws that make Britain a dangerous place to express your views. Who needs freedom of expression when the only view allowed is that which toes the party line?
It is equally worrying that as a nation we have become dependent upon the government and the police to look after us. If there is something we don't like, instead of acting with maturity and engaging in dialogue we look to our "Care-takers" to take away whatever distracts from us thinking about the more important things in life like who will win X-Factor.
If Abortion is so bad that we can't bear to see it then why do we tolerate it?

Ann Furedi admits she's wasting her time
The Daily Mail reports that Marie Stopes staff are able to procure free abortions alongside other benefits. British Pregnancy Advisory Service's chief executive Ann Furedi commented:
‘Unplanned pregnancy can happen to anyone, even those working in abortion services.’
Marie Stopes Ad
The day Marie Stopes International were planning to advertise their deadly services on Channel 4 we took four of our banners outside their Brixton clinic. We had asked them if they wanted our help in advertising their services as they had announced on their website that:
We believe that every woman has the right to accurate, unbiased information about all of her pregnancy choices, including abortion.
After telling us they would get their marketing department to contact us we heard no more from them. We can only assume they were too busy to get in contact so we went ahead anyway.
We were told over and over again by women who had experienced abortions that they were totally unaware and uninformed that abortion did what it did. After seeing our pictures they all agreed they would not have gone through with it. Wait a minute, perhaps that's why Marie Stopes never got back to us. Marie Stopes doesn't care about women's choices, only in promoting abortion.
Oops
What do you do if you don't like the answer to your question? Well if you are part of Marie Stopes, you stick your head in the sand and change the subject. Recently, Marie Stopes ran a poll to demonstrate the support for legalised abortion in Northern Ireland.
As the results were clearly showing that they were struggling to find this support we emailed Marie Stopes for a comment and of course we heard nothing. Bernadette Smyth from Precious Life, an anti abortion group in Northern Ireland managed to take them up on this.
On Tuesday 9th March, Director of Precious Life Bernadette Smyth went head to head with an agent of Marie Stopes on an Irish radio station. Bernadette let the Marie Stopes agent dig her own trap by allowing her to say their first poll result “..had to be taken seriously”; “..the government had to act on it”; “..87% of people couldn’t be ignored”; …etc, etc. But then Bernadette sprung the trap by asking “What about the 82% of people who are currently voting on your website poll saying NO, abortion should not be legalised in Ireland?” The hypocrisy of Marie Stopes was exposed live on air when their agent said that poll result could not be taken seriously. Bernadette retorted “Then why are you taking your first poll results seriously? Why are Marie Stopes not issuing press releases stating that that 82% of Irish people don’t want abortion legalised? Do Marie Stopes only issue poll results when it suits them?” The Marie Stopes agent was totally lost for words.
By the time Marie Stopes realised what was happening and pulled the plug on the on-line poll the "NO" vote had reached 94%. When we tried to find the poll on their website the page came back saying "OOPS - You have arrived at this page in error; it may be that the page you are looking for has been moved during recent improvements to our website." Oops indeed!
This isn't the first time Marie Stopes have struggled to gather support for killing unborn children. In 2007 they ran a petition for a year but only managed to get 498 signatures. 77 of which were Marie Stopes staff, 14 from IPAS and 3 from Abortion Rights.
Will Marie Stopes stop pushing their unwanted and deadly trade on the world? I doubt it. Not until there is enough resistance to what they are doing. Will you join us in standing against them?
