The problem
In the United Kingdom alone, a country thathas respected the right to life for centuries,
around 200,000 abortions happen every year.
Children have been sold a lie about sexual
freedom, without being warned about the
long term consequences of promiscuity and
sin. As a result teenage pregnancies andsexually transmitted diseases have reached
epidemic levels.

The Problem
Recent elections have placed even more abortion
advocates in powerful positions. The prospects are
quite chilling. Britain continues to pay for and exportabortion around the world.
The national media have taken a position
overwhelmingly in favour of abortion, saturating theairwaves with biased information and casting pro lifers
in a negative light.
Many Christian Churches have fallen silent aboutabortion, becoming apathetic or indifferent, failing to
speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.

The Solution
Our culture has turned away from God. This could
be a chance for despair, but Scripture reminds
us.
If my people, who are called by my name, will
humble themselves and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from
heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal theirland.
- 2 Chronicles 7:14
