On Saturday, 5,000 pro-lifers gathered in London for the March for Life UK. The March ended in Parliament Square where attendees listened to several internationally renowned pro-life speakers including abortion survivor Melissa Ohden, and president of Culture of Life Africa, Obianuju Ekeocha.<\/p>\n

Despite the crowd, the UK media failed to cover the March. The media blackout of the large and energetic pro-life event is consistent with the extreme pro-abortion bias<\/a> demonstrated by major news outlets in the UK.<\/p>\n

During the March for Life ignored by the pro-abortion media, Melissa Ohden shared her story of surviving an attempted abortion. She said<\/a>, \u201cIn my work as the founder of The Abortion Survivors Network, I have had contact with 286 other abortion survivors, including five from the U.K., four of whom are still alive today.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cDespite the miracle of my survival, the doctor\u2019s prognosis for my life was initially very poor. My adoptive parents were told that I would suffer from multiple disabilities throughout my life. However, here I am today, perfectly healthy. Whether I had lived with the expected disabilities or not, my life still deserved to be protected and respected, I still was worthy of the love that my family freely offered.\u201d<\/p>\n
