Media silent as thousands of pro-lifers rally at UK March for Life in London
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.
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 demonstrated by major news outlets in the UK.
During the March for Life ignored by the pro-abortion media, Melissa Ohden shared her story of surviving an attempted abortion. She said, “In 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.”
She added, “Despite the miracle of my survival, the doctor’s 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.”
