A problem with so-called “progressive” politics is that, before long, its delusions end up colliding with reality. And so it is that, after spending the past few years seemingly unable to articulate what a woman is, the Scottish Government suddenly appears to have grasped the distinctiveness of the sexes after all. They let this slip via a report published last November of its Abortion Law Reform “Expert Group”, which recommended that sex-selective abortion should be permitted in Scotland. When babies’ lives are at stake, suddenly biological sex, determined in the womb note, matters after all.
The group the Scottish Government appointed to propose changes to abortion law north of the border, by the report’s own admission, did not include a single pro-life voice. Instead, it was chaired by a former trustee of the UK’s largest abortion provider BPAS and also included BPAS’ Head of Advocacy — it certainly makes advocacy easier if your chief lobbyist is tasked with writing the Government’s own recommendations for change!
