We are the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), the world's first pro-life campaigning and educational organisation in the world. The Society was founded in January 1967 to oppose what would go on to become the 1967 Abortion Act. Tragically, more than 9.5 million unborn children have lost their lives in Britain to this Abortion Act - abortion is the biggest killer of children in the world today. We work to protect human lives at the national and local level, and to build a society free from abortion. As well as fighting abortion, we also campaign against other direct threats to the lives of vulnerable individuals, such as euthanasia and embryo abuse.
