Law and statistics

Both Lives is a collaborative movement of individuals and organisations from diverse social, political, and religious backgrounds. We began in 2017 as a campaign co-founded by the EA in Northern Ireland and now exist as a UK-wide initiative of the Evangelical Alliance. Our starting point in every pregnancy is to emphasise that both lives always matter. This profoundly simple core value helps us respond to and speak about the difficult and contentious issues of pregnancy crises and abortion.

We stand:

WITH Women & Children: We stand with women and children, and in doing so, we advocate for laws in Northern Ireland which protect the life, health and dignity of them both. The unborn child is either a human being with all the rights that entails or not — there is no in-between category.

FOR Better Services. We want to see world leading pregnancy care for every woman, child and family. No one should feel pressured to make a decision because they lack the necessary support. Let’s change that.

READY To Change Culture: Some say progress on human rights is measured by the choice to end human life. Let’s rehumanise the conversation.
