Christians for Choice call out 40-Days of Life for co-opting Lent to shame women

In 2017 Abortion Rights members representing various denominations of Christianity have founded Christians for choice in response to anti-choice 40 Days for Life tactics harassment and intimidation.
Cloaking the targeting of abortion clinics as a Christian act during a period of religious reflection is deeply wrong. 40 Days for Life are an Evangelical Christian anti-choice group whose mission is to ‘bring an end to abortion’.
In 2021, women accessing abortion in the UK should be entitled to safe and unobstructed access. The victimisation of any person accessing any other medical treatment would be publicly condemned, and so should the activity of groups such as 40 Days for Life.
Upholding a faith, Christian or otherwise does not give anyone the right to deny women of their choice for our faith is strongest when we choose to believe.
