ANTI-abortion campaigners are bringing their hard-hitting message to Teesside.

To mark the 35th anniversary of the introduction of the Abortion Act, pro-life campaigners will form a silent chain in Stockton, Teesside, next Saturday.

Supporters of the Society for the Protection of the Unborn Child will also be holding up placards with anti-abortion messages.

They are protesting against the estimated six million legal abortions carried out in the UK since 1968.

The event will be held at Church Yard Link Road, opposite MFI, from 11am to 1pm.
