From prayer vigils to protest rallies, find pro-life events throughout the United States organized by the Pro-Life Action League. The pro-life movement argues that even a nonviable, undeveloped human life is sacred and must be protected by the government. A look into different protest tactics employed by various pro-life groups. Advocates generally argue that human life begins at conception and that the human zygote (or embryo or fetus) is a person and therefore has a right to life. Abortion should be prohibited, according to this model, and not practiced on an illegal basis either. On its website, 40 Days boasts that it has organised in 855 cities in 61 countries around the world, resulting in 140 “abortion workers” quitting and 100 abortion clinics closing. The common denominator between the protests around the UK is 40 Days for Life, which held its first 40-day pro-life vigils in Scotland for Lent in 2016. Many anti-abortion movements began as countermovements in response to the legalization of elective abortions. Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus. The United States anti-abortion movement (or the pro-life movement or right-to-life movement) contains elements opposing induced abortion on both moral and sectarian grounds and supports its legal prohibition or restriction. The pro-life and pro-choice movements primarily come into conflict on the issue of abortion. Anti-abortion movements, also referred to as pro-life movements, are involved in the abortion debate advocating against the practice of abortion and its legality.
