Pro-abortion MP signals intention to hijack Gov. bill to introduce abortion up to birth

A leading pro-abortion MP has signalled her intention to hijack Government legislation to introduce abortion up to birth in the UK.

Following the State Opening of Parliament last week, Labour MP for Walthamstow Stella Creasy announced on X (formerly known as Twitter) that she intends to amend legislation set out in the King’s Speech to decriminalise abortion, which would introduce abortion up to birth.

She said: “Government told us decriminalising abortion requires backbench amendments to test the will of the house.” 

“The Kings Speech contains legislation that will allow us to do just that.”

Abortion lobby shows its true colours

In July this year, pro-abortion MP, Maria Miller, introduced her Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (Sentencing Guidelines) Bill to Parliament, positioning it in her speech as a proposal that would prevent jail sentences for women, like Carla Foster, who procure their own late-term abortions.

Maria Miller stated that Sir Peter Bottomley, Harriet Harman, Caroline Nokes, Sarah Champion, Wera Hobhouse, Tracey Crouch, Caroline Dinenage, Matt Warman, Christine Jardine, Nickie Aiken and Theo Clarke had also put their name to the Bill.

In a surprise development, Stella Creasy MP, who generally leads pro-abortion campaigning in Parliament, rose to give a speech making it clear that she and the abortion lobby were opposing the Bill. In her speech, she stated that Maria Miller’s Bill would not deliver on the abortion lobby’s larger goal, which is to make the Abortion Act redundant by repealing underlying criminal legislation, stating “looking at sentencing directly contradicts the call for decriminalisation”.

Abortion up to birth

Abortion advocates are campaigning for abortion to be fully ‘decriminalised’. 

In England and Wales, this would involve repealing sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act along with the Infant Life Preservation Act

As the Abortion Act 1967 was passed to create exemptions to 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act along with the Infant Life Preservation Act, repealing this legislation would make the Abortion Act 1967 redundant in England and Wales. 

This change in law would scrap the current 24-week time limit for abortion, and abortion would be available on demand, for any reason, up to birth. The upper time limit would be completely abolished.

Abortion provider BPAS, which has been campaigning for this law change, has made it 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”.

70% of women favour a reduction in time limits

This proposal is completely out of line with where women stand on the issue. Polling from Savanta ComRes on whether time limits for abortion should be increased showed that only 1% of women in Great Britain wanted the time limit to be extended to more than 24 weeks and 1% wanted it to be increased right through to birth, in contrast to 70% of women who favoured a reduction in time limits.

Right To Life UK spokesperson Catherine Robinson said “‘Decriminalisation’ means making abortion legal up to birth and its supporters are perfectly clear about this. A civilised society does not set mothers against their own children especially moments before their children are born. There is no real difference between a baby a month before birth and a month after birth”.

“Abortion up to birth is barbarous and we should do all we can to make sure our MPs know that we do not want such legislation”.

Help stop three major anti-life threats.

Dear reader,

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of people like you across the UK, the McArthur assisted suicide Bill in Scotland was defeated in March by 69 votes to 57.

Then, in April, the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill fell in the House of Lords.

Many commentators thought both Bills would become law.

If that had happened, governments in England, Scotland and Wales would now be preparing to roll out assisted suicide services.

Over the coming decades, this would have led to the deaths of many thousands of vulnerable people.

But that is not what happened.

Because supporters like you acted, those Bills were stopped.

Because of you, many vulnerable lives have been saved.

These were two very significant victories. But sadly, they are not the last battles we face this year.

The new Parliamentary session begins this Wednesday. We now face three major threats.

  1. Attempts to bring back the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill and bypass the House of Lords

    The assisted suicide lobby, led by Dignity in Dying, a multi-million-pound pressure group, has made it clear that it is going to attempt to bring back the Leadbeater assisted suicide Bill in the next parliamentary session.

    It then plans to use the Parliament Acts to bypass the House of Lords and force the Bill into law.

  2. Labour Government plans for a major expansion of abortion provision, including financial incentives for ‘lunch-hour’ abortions

    Under these plans, the Government would financially incentivise major abortion providers, BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices, to provide ‘lunch-hour’ or ‘same-day’ abortions.

    ‘Lunch-hour’ abortion services are walk-in abortion services designed to fit into a woman’s lunch hour.

    Women facing an unplanned pregnancy need time, care and support, not a system that gives abortion clinics a financial incentive to rush them through consultations, scans and abortions on the same day.

    If these plans go ahead, many more lives are likely to be ended by abortion here in the UK.

  3. Extreme abortion up to birth proposals in Scotland

    In Scotland, plans are moving forward to introduce an extreme abortion up to birth law. This would go far beyond the abortion law change recently backed by the Lords for England and Wales.

    A review of abortion law in Scotland, commissioned by Humza Yousaf when he was Scottish First Minister, recommended that the Scottish Government scrap the current 24-week time limit – and abortion be available on social grounds, including for sex-selective purposes, right up to birth.

    The final plans are expected to be brought forward as a Government Bill in the new Scottish Parliament, which begins this Thursday.

If these three major threats succeed, thousands of vulnerable lives will be lost.

We cannot allow this to happen.

We can only defeat these three major threats with your help.

We ran our biggest campaigns ever to help defeat the assisted suicide Bills at Westminster and in Scotland.

That work has made a serious dent in our limited resources.

To cover this gap and ensure we can effectively defeat these three major threats in the coming months, we are aiming to raise at least £199,250 by midnight this Sunday (17 May 2026).

We are, therefore, appealing to you to please give as generously as you can.

Every donation, large or small, will make a crucial difference in saving the lives of the unborn and many others. Plus, if you are a UK taxpayer, £1 becomes £1.25 with Gift Aid at no extra cost to you.

By stopping these threats, YOU can save lives during this new Parliamentary session.

Will you donate now to help protect vulnerable lives from these three major threats?
