The largest abortion provider in the country has attempted to hijack Mother’s Day by encouraging supporters to “celebrate” those who end the lives of unborn children through abortion.
Over the weekend, while most people in Britain would have been celebrating Mother’s Day, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the largest abortion provider in Britain, published a post on X (formerly Twitter) in celebration of “Abortion Providers Appreciation Day”.
Written across a large blue heart with the words ‘Some heroes wear scrubs’, they posted: “We want to celebrate all the amazing people providing safe abortions every single day”.
“Join us in thanking them for supporting women who wish to end their own pregnancy”.
X users did not react well to the post with one user describing it as “truly tone-deaf” and another saying “On Mothering Sunday, how despicable”.
BPAS has previously campaigned for abortion to be made legal up until the point of birth and has been explicit that it is campaigning to remove all gestational time limits for abortion. This position was affirmed by its then CEO, Ann Furedi, who, at the launch of the campaign to ‘decriminalise’ abortion stated, “I want to be very, very clear and blunt … there should be no legal upper limit”.
According to its Annual Quality Report 2022/23, BPAS was responsible for 110,719 abortions in England and Wales, up 19% from the previous year.
Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said “It should be no surprise that such a sordid organisation would do something so twisted as to celebrate those who end the lives of unborn babies. It is made even worse by their doing so on Mother’s Day”.
“The complete abortion statistics for 2022 and 2023 have not yet been released, but given the large increase in abortions performed by BPAS in 2022/23 as compared with 2021/22 as revealed in their annual report, it is highly that 2022 and 2023 will be record years for the number of abortions performed”.
