Dr Dermot Kearney explains how he got involved in Abortion Pill Reversal and why he'll always be a voice of reason in a hostile world. Currently in the UK there are around a quarter of a million abortions every year – what’s our response to this? March for Life UK faces this issue with truth and compassion to help bring to an end the tragedy of abortion.  Our public witness events, training days, YouTube channel, social media presence and talks both in the UK and abroad all help to create awareness of the hurt and damage abortion causes as well as promote respect for the dignity of every human life from the moment of conception.  We work to bring together the pro-life movement, educating and inspiring them to be pro-life not just in name but in their actions so that together we can flip the nation back to life!
