(Right to Life UK<\/a>) The March for Life UK has recorded its largest turnout yet, dwarfing counter demonstrations from pro-abortion protestors.<\/p>\n

The annual March for Life, held in London last Saturday, saw at least 7,000 participants attend, according to police estimates. Pro-lifers of all ages marched behind the slogan \u201810 Million Too Many\u2019, in reference to the number of abortions in England and Wales since it was made legal in 1967.<\/p>\n

After hearing from a series of speakers and visiting stalls on Saturday morning, the thousands of participants marched through central London ending in Parliament Square, where they heard from a number of speakers.<\/p>\n

Over 7,000 pro-lifers<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the organisers of the March for Life, Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, spoke forcefully against the current abortion legislation in the UK that permits abortion up to 24 weeks and up until birth for disabilities including Down syndrome, cleft lip or club foot. She\u00a0said<\/a>: \u201cInside the womb of every pregnant woman is a human being. That\u2019s not politics, that\u2019s not religion, that\u2019s science\u201d.<\/p>\n

Referencing the recent overturning of Roe vs Wade in the US, which has resulted in a number of states now granting full legal protection to unborn babies from the violence of abortion and\u00a0providing support for parents<\/a>, Madeline Page, CEO of The Alliance of Pro-life Students,\u00a0said<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a steady increase in the amount of young people wanting to take part in pro-life events since the news from America, many of these are stepping out for the first time and feel that since this issue is being talked about more, it\u2019s now acceptable to disclose their beliefs\u201d.<\/p>\n
