The Alliance Defending Freedom are a designated hate group (SPLC). They got abortion rights overturned in 🇺🇸 They are pouring money into our country to enforce their fundamentalist agenda. Yesterday’s march looked 90% white men to me. Want to ‘protect women’? Fight this and leave asylum seekers alone
Over half of the speakers in London's March for Life 2025 have direct links to a US Christian organisation.
