Pro-Life British Lawmaker Stabbed to Death

Sir David Amess

69-year-old Sir David Amess, a pro-life Member of the British Parliament, was stabbed to death last Friday while meeting with constituents at a Methodist Church in southeast England. A 25-year-old man was arrested in connection with the murder.

Sir David was a conservative Member of Parliament since 1983. While in parliament, he fought for pro-life initiatives. Additionally, Sir David was a patron of Right To Life UK.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Amess had an "outstanding record of passing laws to help the most vulnerable.” Right to Life UK described him as a "pro-life champion."

“Sir David’s death is a senseless tragedy and he will be truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Julia and their five children,” said Catherine Robinson, spokesperson for Right To Life UK. 

“Since he was elected in 1983, he always, where possible, used his position as an MP to stand up for the vulnerable, including championing initiatives to introduce more protections for unborn babies and more support for women facing crisis pregnancies. Everyone who worked with Sir David knew him to be a kind, caring and jovial man, who showed real care for the most vulnerable in our society.”
