ST MARGARET’S CHILDREN & FAMILY CARE SOCIETY ARE LOOKING FOR ADOPTERS: We pride ourselves on being a specialised adoption service and encourage you to take a look at our most recent inspection report at www.careinspectorate.com Have you ever considered adoption? Could you give a loving, stable home to a child who has suffered abuse or trauma? Do you have what it takes to be a ‘Therapeutic Parent’? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, please visit our website at www.stmargaretsadoption.org.uk for more information or call 0141 332 8371 and speak to our duty worker.
PRO-LIFE GROUP: : Please support the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children’s campaign calling for the Royal College of Midwives to stop promoting abortion, and for Cathy Warwick to resign from the Royal College of Midwives. Professor Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives, has signed up the Royal College of Midwives to a campaign for the “decriminalisation” of abortion. This would mean that anyone could perform an abortion at any time up to birth and for any reason. This extreme abortion campaign is being run by BPAS, Britain’s biggest abortion provider and Cathy Warwick is also chairman of BPAS. Please support this campaign by signing the petition sheet in the porch.
