Written by On Saturday 21 March, 8,645 candles were lit on the steps of the Parliament—one for each abortion performed in Finland in 2024. The Muistamme (“In Remembrance”) event organized by Oikeus elämään ry (in Finnish, Right To Life Association). Johannes Laitinen, who organised the event, said “the candles were lit for the remembrance of these children. The purpose of the event was also to give a voice to the silent grief that many have experienced after abortion”. All Evangelical Focus news and opinion, on your WhatsApp. At the same time, the group also wanted to show in a very visible way the number of planned abortions performed in 2024 in Finland, a country of 5.6 million inhabitants.
