ISAPEL WILLIAMS, 37

Last year, Isapel found herself pregnant and single. “I’d been abandoned by my boyfriend, and had no money. I couldn’t afford to have a baby. I was on my own,” she says.

She went to the Marie Stopes clinic to terminate her pregnancy at around four weeks, but was approached by an anti-abortion protester.

“She politely introduced herself to me, and gave me a leaflet,” explains Isapel. “She said, if we can support you, would you still go through with this? It was the only reason I wanted to terminate my pregnancy, so when they offered me financial and moral support it changed my mind. I realised I had another choice.

“Now I have my beautiful baby son Christopher, who is 13 months old, and I’m so glad I met that woman.”
