This week the school had the first visit of many from the Society for the protection of the unborn child or as its more commonly known as SPUC.
SPUC provides talks for students of fourth to sixth year covering a variety of pro-life topics. On Wednesday afternoon some of our JMAC team managed to interview one of the SPUC apprentices, Eden Linton.
Eden commented ” It’s important for school children (to receive the talks) because you are the future and we want our future to be as supporting of women and Valuing of human life as much as possible.” Eden also expressed her thoughts on the controversy surrounding the Pro-life movement ” SPUC Wants to help young people to see a different perspective, that pro-life people do care about women as much as the child. To get them to see pro-life people as not weird or hating women is really important for the organisation” .
We also broached the topic of Pro-life movement in the future and discussed whether or not cultures were changing, Despite only working at SPUC for a few months Eden can already see a shift in culture and society is becoming more inclined to be pro-life. They also run a programme known as project Truth which is a programme which allows 18-20 year olds to travel around different cities in Scotland providing information and support stands for women in crisis pregnancies, those who have had abortions etc. This year Eden was surprised by the sheer support the received from the public because they are so used to abuse online.
