Prayer Vigil for the Protection of Unborn Children

Pro Life

The latest abortion statistics show that 16,584 abortions were performed in Scotland last year.  This is almost 20% more than the previous year.  98.8% of these abortions were chemical abortions, more than half of which took place entirely at home as part of the DIY abortion scheme introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Clare McGraw, a member of the the Dundee Branch of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children said, “The real story behind these statistics is that abortion has been undergoing a process of normalisation – since abortion leads to more abortion – to the point that society considers it another form of contraception. Chemical abortion was then expanded even further through the cynical scheme of DIY abortion, later made permanent, taking advantage of the pandemic to further normalise the killing of unborn babies, even at home.” 

“For the last two years, Dundee City had the highest resident termination rate at 22.3 per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years. In the last ten years, termination rates have increased by more than 50% in ten of the twenty-nine mainland local authority areas.”

“Please join Dundee SPUC branch to witness to the reality of the abortion situation in our City by supporting our annual prayer vigil on Thursday 26thOctober, either in the City Centre, the Cathedral or both.”
