British pro-lifers adopting ‘US tactics’

June 09, 2011

Pro-lifers in the United Kingdom are making greater use of “US tactics” such as prayer vigils, according to a recent article in The Guardian.

Msgr. Philip Reilly of the Helpers of God’s Precious Infants, which has been endorsed by three UK bishops, told The Guardian that “if you are upset because you are about to kill your child, because someone is outside praying, well thanks be to God that they are upset because maybe they will change their mind, keep their child and thank us later.”
