In the new Parliament, we are currently facing three major anti-life threats.
We can only defeat these threats with your help.
Thanks to your support, earlier this year the abortion lobby failed to pass two extreme abortion up to birth amendments tabled by Labour MPs Stella Creasy and Diana Johnson.
Unfortunately, this is not the end for our opposition.
In the new Parliament, we are currently facing major threats on not just one but three fronts: assisted suicide; experimentation on human embryos; and abortion up to birth.
-
The first threat is from the assisted suicide lobby.
The new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has not only voted in favour of making assisted suicide legal in the past but has also publicly stated his continued support for it.
He also pledged ahead of the election that he would make time for MPs to vote on the introduction of assisted suicide.
Now that he has been elected, we will be facing a big battle to stop assisted suicide from being legalised.
To attempt to secure this law change, the assisted suicide lobby, led by the multi-million-pound outfit, Dignity in Dying, is expected to significantly ramp up their campaigning in Parliament, through the media and online to put pressure on MPs to vote in support of introducing assisted suicide.
-
The second threat is from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) and their allies in biotech firms that undertake experimentation on the most vulnerable, precious and unique tiny babies – human embryos.
These groups are seeking to make the greatest changes to the law concerning the use of human embryos since the 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act, which allowed the creation of human-animal hybrid embryos.
One of their goals is removing the 14-day limit from current legislation so that scientists will be able to experiment on human embryos / unborn babies up to when they are 28 days or four weeks gestation.
At around 22 days, the central nervous system begins to form and by 28 days, the heart has begun to beat, the brain has begun to develop and a baby’s eyes, ears and nose have started to emerge.
Our current legislation already allows inhumane experimentation on unborn babies up to 14 days post-conception. This proposed change would make the situation even worse.
-
The third threat is from the abortion lobby.
Earlier this year the abortion lobby failed to pass two extreme abortion up to birth amendments that Labour MPs Stella Creasy and Diana Johnson tabled.
The abortion lobby, led by BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices (formerly Marie Stopes International), has made it clear that they will be working with pro-abortion MPs to try and force through major changes to our abortion laws that would allow abortion up to birth.
We know that BPAS and MSI are spending huge amounts of money to boost their lobbying and campaigning efforts to achieve this drastic change.
BPAS have a budget of over £50 million and MSI is even bigger with a budget of over £300 million each year, spending this money on performing abortions and lobbying for more extreme abortion laws. They also have the support of 23 other organisations, who are joining them in this campaign, and who have collective funding that runs into the tens of millions of pounds.
The stakes could not be higher.
We are not exaggerating when we say this. A law change that allows abortion up to birth was passed in New Zealand in 2020 by the then Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern’s Government, and that country saw a 43% increase in late-term abortions in the same year. Elsewhere in the Commonwealth, there was an even larger increase in late-term abortions reported at one major hospital in Australia following the introduction of similar extreme legislation there, and a doctor was hauled in front of a local medical tribunal for refusing to refer a patient for a sex-selective abortion.
If these three major threats from our opposition are successful, thousands of vulnerable lives will be lost. We cannot allow this to happen on our watch here.
