Dear SPUC supporter,
SPUC's General Election 2019 campaign is underway. The aim of the campaign is to help elect MPs who will defend the right to life of unborn children and other vulnerable people.
One of the most important things we are asking our supporters to do is to find out the voting intentions of candidates in their constituency, to make sure as many pro-life MPs as possible are elected on 12 December.
Pro- votes are particularly important in marginal constituencies (where one party only has a small majority over another). We have drawn up a list of MPs standing for re-election in marginal seats who have voted either consistently with or consistently against the pro-life lobby in Parliament. You can see how your MP voted in our How they voted booklet.
If you live in one of these constituencies, please would you consider interviewing the other candidates in your constituency to find out which candidates will vote with the pro-life lobby in Parliament if elected. This information will help people in your constituency choose a candidate who will, if elected, vote to defend unborn babies and other vulnerable people in Parliament.
Materials to help you interview candidates are available to download on the SPUC website. You can also use the form on the website to order paper copies or email [email protected].
MPs who have voted WITH the pro-life lobby are:
- Green, Chris (Conservative), Bolton West
- Davies, Philip (Conservative), Shipley
- Cameron, Dr Lisa (Scottish National Party), East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow
- Linden, David (Scottish National Party), Glasgow East
- Duncan Smith, Mr Iain (Conservative), Chingford and Woodford Green
- Monaghan, Carol (Scottish National Party), Glasgow North West
- Jones, Mr David (Conservative), Clwyd West
- McPartland, Stephen (Conservative), Stevenage
- O'Hara, Brendan (Scottish National Party), Argyll and Bute
- Caulfield, Maria (Conservative), Lewes
- Thomas, Derek (Conservative), St Ives
- MacNeil, Angus Brendan (Scottish National Party), Na h-Eileanan an Iar
- Whittaker, Craig (Conservative), Calder Valley
- Kerr, Stephen (Conservative), Stirling
- Crabb, Stephen (Conservative), Preseli Pembrokeshire
- Hughes, Eddie (Conservative), Walsall North
- Pulsgrove, Tom (Conservative), Corby
- Goodwill, Robert (Conservative) , Scarborough and Whitby
MPs who have voted AGAINST the pro-life lobby are:
- Moran, Layla (Liberal Democrat), Oxford West and Abingdon
- Sherriff, Paula (Labour), Dewsbury
- Bardell, Hannah (Scottish National Party), Livingston
- Soubry, Anna (The Independent Group for Change), Broxtowe
- Jardine, Christine (Liberal Democrat), Edinburgh West
- Sheppard, Tommy (Scottish National Party), Edinburgh East
- Carmichael, Mr Alistair (Liberal Democrat), Orkney and Shetland
- Charalambous, Bambos (Labour), Enfield Southgate
Once you get the views of all your candidates we can produce a dedicated "Value your vote" flyer, listing the candidates’ voting intentions, for you to distribute locally door-to-door and in churches (with the permission of the priest or pastor). If you are able to interview the candidates in your constituency, please let us know so as to avoid any duplication.
You may also like to order some of our general Value your vote flyers for local distribution to help people remember unborn babies and those at risk from assisted suicide, when they go to vote on 12/12.
Thank you for your support – it really could make all the difference in electing a pro-life Parliament!
With kind regards,
Alithea Williams
