LONDON, March 28, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Increased support by Catholic bishops for pro-life prayer vigils outside British abortion facilities has infuriated pro-abortion forces. Complaining that the vigils are successfully turning women away from abortion, one abortion group has organized a “counter-protest” set for the London vigil this Friday.

Recently, Bishop Alan Hopes, an auxiliary bishop of Westminster, announced he would participate personally in the annual 40 Days for Life project. A spokesman for the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, one of the UK’s busiest abortionists, complained in the Evening Standard that there is “no moral justification” for bishops to get involved in such a campaign.

Abigail Fitzgibbon, policy manager for BPAS said that “vocal” anti-abortion MPs were also stirring up protesters. She told the Standard, “If bishops are getting behind this then I can’t see how it’s morally justified especially when women have already made up their minds.”

Bishop Hopes announced earlier this month that he would be attending the prayer vigil on Friday, March 30. Today, emails were sent out to abortion supporters by the Bloomsbury Pro-Choice Alliance, saying that the bishop’s announcement had prompted them to organize a “noisy” counter-demonstration.

I wonder to what 'morality' this poor lost soul is referring?

Is Bishop Alan Hopes a British citizen? If so, he has the same rights as any other citizen to proclaim his views on abortion publicly and to pray to God for help in halting such operations.

Honest reportage, there, "abortion supporters." Here, they're called "pro abortion rights."

Good. The more "abortion supporters," like their co-religionists in the "gay rights" "community," come out in public, the more obvious their Satanic inspiration becomes to everyone.
