About

Right to Life is a political lobby group defending the right to life from conception to natural death. It works more closely with Pro Life Parliamentarians and the All Party Parliamentary Pro Life Group than any other political lobby group defending the Right to Life from conception to natural death. It’s recent campaigns have been on the Human Fertilization and Embryology Act, campaigning against the production of human embryos, hybrid (animal/human) embryos, saviour siblings and defending the child’s right to a father.

More recently RTL raised awareness and lobbied Peers to vote against an amendment to the Coroners and Justice Bill that would have assisted suicide.

The organisation is now opposing the Director of Public Prosecutions’ Guidelines on Assisted Suicide which they consider overrules the Primacy of Parliament in legalising assisted suicide.

RTL documents and records how MPs vote on all life issues, so that interested parties can find out how their MPs have voted.

The RTL lobby group also has a separate Trust - please see their website here.

The Right to Life Charitable Trust works to help some of the most vulnerable members of our society. They provide support for pregnant women in difficult circumstances and work for the sick and the elderly: people who find themselves in need and have nowhere else to turn. They have also financed a number of cases where families have been concerned about the hospital treatment received by relatives at the end of life.
