Nearly 5,000 people protested against abortion and euthanasia in Berlin’s March for Life.

BERLIN (sputnik) — Nearly 5,000 people participated Saturday in Berlin’s yearly March for Life rallies protesting abortion and euthanasia, a local police spokesperson told RIA Novosti.

Groups supporting the opposite point of view on the issues have called counter protests. Around 1700 people took part in the two pro-choice demonstrations in Berlin on Saturday, according to the police representative.

Some 900 law enforcement officers were called to monitor the protests, which went peacefully, the spokesperson said.

The March for Life has been held in Berlin since 2008. The demonstrations have been supported by religious, especially Christian, groups.
