Who we are and what we do:

SPUC Scotland is part of the UK Society for the Protection of Unborn Children. SPUC was formed in 1966 in response to the campaign for the decriminalisation of abortion under the Abortion Act of 1967. SPUC recognised that the Abortion Act would be a step onto the slippery slope leading to abortion on demand and the decline in respect for all human life and dignity. SPUC is principally a parliamentary pressure group. However, we also carry out extensive educational work as we believe that only through education can we ever hope to change the attitudes of society and the laws by which it is governed.

SPUC’s founding principle is one of respect for all human life and as a result we have seen our activities expand to include, not only abortion, but also embryo experimentation, human cloning and euthanasia.

SPUC recognises too that mothers and fathers, as well as babies, are victims of abortion and so our daughter organisation British Victims of Abortion (BVA) provides counselling for women and men suffering from Post-Abortion Trauma as well as crisis pregnancy counselling. SPUC also has close links with other pro-life and crisis pregnancy organisations.

If you are looking for help following an abortion please call BVA’s Helpline on 0845 603 8501.
