On the 50th anniversary of the Abortion Act 1967, it’s time to honour the 8.7 million unborn children killed since the passing of the Act

More than 8.7 million unborn children have been killed in the UK with the complicity of the state – in procedures funded by taxpayers, mostly men – over the 50 years which have elapsed since the passing of the Abortion Act 1967. That number is higher than the combined populations of Scotland and Wales, and it’s close to the population of Greater London.

We covered the issue of abortion in our 2015 general election manifesto (pp.5,6). We plan to lead some protests this year, and support others. It’s about time religious denominations showed some moral leadership on this issue, by announcing plans to mark the half-centenary of the vile Abortion Act, the enabler of the destruction of so many innocent lives.

Good news from the first day of the Trump administration. The start of the article:

If there was any doubt about President Donald Trump’s stance on abortion, he settled it Monday by using an executive order to bar U.S. aid to groups that provide or promote the procedure overseas.

The decision to reinstate the Republican policy known as the “Mexico City policy,” or the “global gag rule,” was delivered a day after the 44th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion and two days after the Women’s March on Washington and similar events across the country drew crowds to rally for reproductive rights, among other issues.

During the presidential campaign, Trump vowed to appoint “pro-life” Supreme Court justices. He said that if the Roe decision is overturned, the question of whether abortion is legal would go back to individual states.

The end of the article:

Abortion-rights group NARAL immediately issued a statement Monday condemning Trump’s move. “It’s telling that one of Trump’s first executive actions combines two of his favorite things: silencing anyone who disagrees with him and repressing women,” the group said. “With this action, Donald Trump has turned his anti-women rhetoric into policy, and made it more difficult for women and families all over the world to access vital reproductive care. He really is living up to the lowest of expectations.”

I find much of the language used by proponents of abortion utterly abhorrent. How could anyone with a moral compass refer to the killing of unborn children, ‘vital reproductive care’? They couldn’t. It’s no accident that feminists have always been enthusiastic supporters of abortion.

If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.

  1. Is it a coincidence that 8.7million is pretty much spot-on the number of immigrants who’ve been allowed to stay here since 1967? Absolutely disgusting. All these women marching demanding the right to abdicate all responsibility and kill their kids, are just ugly ugly people on the inside. And yet they’ll call people evil for not wanting fake refugees pouring into our country.

  2. What’s equally interesting is that western women criticize Indian, Chinese and other women for aborting mostly female fetuses, while they abort both male and female fetuses themselves, becoming technically even worse offenders. Do they have any right to criticize? If Asian women started aborting male fetuses as well, would they no longer be open to criticism ? Oh, I forgot, they fight for the equality of the fetuses…..

    • Apparently killing a girl because you need a more strong and hardy worker to work the farm, is unethical. But killing kids indiscriminately because you prefer to go out partying and getting so drunk that you can’t remember consenting to sex and accusing innocent men of rape, is enlightened.
