Hi John,
We've reached the final week before the Rally for Life in Belfast. Our phones are ringing off the hook with calls from people booking bus seats and requesting leaflets.

This is the first major pro-life Rally here since 2019, when Westminster forced on Northern Ireland the most cruel, barbaric and extreme abortion law in Europe. We need thousands of people on the streets to show that the people of Northern Ireland still want our unborn babies protected

We're sending out a big THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our appeal last week to help us pay for Rally Posters. On Saturday 11th March, Belfast will be a sea of colour with the pro-life messages - STOP ABORTION VIOLENCE and PEACE BEGINS IN THE WOMB.. The donation button remains active for anyone who would like to further help us cover the massive costs of organising the Rally.

We're finalising our list of Special Guest Speakers for the Rally, which will include :
* Fr Sean Gough - arrested for praying within a "buffer zone" outside an abortion centre in Birmingham
* Dr Dermot Kearney - beat a hate-campaign to have him struck off for saving unborn babies by providing their mothers with free 'abortion pill reversal' treatment
* Conor O'Dowd - a young Drogheda man whose campaign message is, 'I have Down Syndrome and I love my life',
* Parents of children with Down Syndrome - speaking of the blessings their children bring, and how they enrich their lives and the lives of others
* ....and more inspirational speakers to be confirmed...

Come along to the Rally for Life and be a 'voice for the voiceless' simply by your presence there The innocent and defenseless unborn babies in Northern Ireland urgently need you to be their voice. If we don’t speak up for them - then who will? Join us in Custom House Square on Saturday 11th March 2023 at 2pm

 - On this 25th Anniversary year of the Good Friday Agreement, show the Stormont Assembly and the Westminster Government there can never be true peace in Northern Ireland unless there is PEACE IN THE WOMB
 - Demand the Stormont Assembly respect the civil rights and religious liberties of everyone, by repealing the draconian “Abortion Buffer Zones” law
 - On this 3 year anniversary of the implementation here of Westminster's abortion law - with the death toll now over 4136 - let's show the world that we continue to stand against the killing of our unborn babies and we will always STAND UP FOR LIFE.

Precious Life will be pounding the streets this weekend in a final push to promote the Rally. Come along and join us distributing leaflets. You can also help by distributing leaflets in your church and prayer groups, and to your family and friends over the next week. We will provide you with all the leaflets you need.
Most of the buses to the Rally are filled, but some seats are still available. Give us a call on 02890278484 (tel:02890278484) or email [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]?subject=Street%20Outreach) .

Looking forward to seeing you in Belfast on Saturday 11th March.

MAKE A COMPLAINT TO THE BBC
Contact the BBC and tell them you are making a complaint about "Panorama: Crisis Pregnancy Centres Uncovered" broadcast on Monday 27th February 2023

The programme was biased and unprofessional. It broke the BBC's own guidelines and rules on impartiality, which state:

4.3.1 Across our output as a whole, we must be inclusive, reflecting a breadth and diversity of opinion.
4.3.6 When dealing with ‘controversial subjects’, we must ensure a wide range of significant views and perspectives are given due weight and prominence, particularly when the controversy is active. Opinion should be clearly distinguished from fact.
4.3.12 We should not automatically assume that contributors from other organisations are unbiased. Appropriate information about their affiliations, funding and particular viewpoints should be made available to the audience
The BBC must remain independent and distanced from ...campaigners, charities and their agendas. (4.3.17)

It's best to use your own words in the complaint, but you may wish to include the following points:
* The programme promoted the agendas of two of the UK’s largest abortion providers - MSI Reproductive Choices and BPAS
* The contributions of the abortion provider's representatives were portrayed as facts, not their own options.
* No information was made available to the audience about the £millions these organisations earn from providing abortion.
* The views and perspectives of crisis pregnancy centres and pro-life organisations were both under-represented and omitted, and not given due weight and prominence.
* There were no testimonies from women who have been adversely affected after attending abortion centres.
* There were no positive testimonies from women who have been helped by crisis pregnancy centres. These testimonies were provided to the programme’s producer, so therefore they were deliberately omitted.
* The was no unbiased analysis of the information used by crisis pregnancy centres about the physical and mental harm caused to women by abortion. This information was provided to the programme’s producer, so therefore it was deliberately omitted.

The programme -
* DID NOT establish the truth
* WAS NOT independent of outside interests
* DID NOT include a breadth and diversity of opinion
* WAS NOT impartial, seeking to reflect all the views and experiences of the audience

You can also ask the BBC – in the interests of balance and unbiased journalism – when Panorama are going to carry out an investigation with hidden cameras on what happens inside an abortion centre. A suggested title for the programme could be: “Abortion Centres Uncovered”.
