Being Pro-Life in Britain Today

On March 15, The Institute on Religion and Democracy had the pleasure of hosting Father Philip Corbett SSC, the Vicar of All Saints Church, Notting Hill, and a priest of the Society of the Holy Cross, to discuss the state of the pro-life movement in Great Britain, as well as what it is like to maintain a pro-life witness in a comparatively inhospitable terrain.

Father Corbett discussed why the pro-life position tends to get less attention in Britain by explaining that the legal, cultural, and political battles surrounding the issue have progressed in a vastly different manner when compared to the direction the United States has taken. But despite the relative weakness of the pro-life movement in Britain, Father Corbett illuminated reasons for hope and some actionable items for pro-life leaders in the United States to consider.
