🚨MUST READ: The Telegraph - “The end of the road for assisted suicide” In its influential lead article, The Telegraph today pronounces the Westminster assisted suicide Bill dead after the Scottish Bill's decisive defeat this week. MPs must not revive the Bill, it warns. 🧵1/

'Just 1% of the public agree with this... and yet it has now made it into law.' @miriam_cates and @toryboypierce rail against peers in the House of Lords backing abortions up until birth.

@grant86795 @ayeshahazarika No, the public may be broadly supportive of the right to an abortion but hardly anyone believes in abortion up to birth. (1% according to Savanta Comres poll). 60% of the general public and 70% of women believe that the 24-week limit should be reduced: righttolife.org.uk/polling

We criticise past generations for their ‘backward’ approach to women’s rights and racial equality. But at least they didn’t vote to kill babies. gbnews.com/politics/abort…

I feel so sad that a pregnant woman can now take an abortion pill and stop the heart of a 35-week gestation baby. Most people think that’s murder. Too many MPs and Lords are fine with it. Most EU countries have an abortion limit of 12 weeks. Britain is in moral decline.

I voted last night against the prospect of a new law allowing self-administered abortion up to birth. Sadly we failed to win the votes against this abhorrent practice, which will now become law shortly. It is deeply shameful that our country has gone down this awful road. Thank you to @DavidAltonHL and so many other colleagues who led this fight. This particular battle may be over (for now) but the campaign continues.

Couldn’t sleep last night! I fear it’s a grave mistake allowing a woman to abort a full term healthy baby for any reason & to not reinstate face to face consultations for abortion pills only safe to use up to ten weeks. Telemedicine is too easily lied to & undoubtedly will be. It’s already estimated 1 in 17 home abortions end up in A&E. There will be many more. It’s abandoning safeguarding for ease & any civilised rights a viable, innocent baby has. We have one of the longest abortion periods at 24 weeks in Europe & support for clinical abortion to term if any medical risk to the mother. I hope any future government will repeal this extension. And that we don’t lose women taking pills not designed to be used after ten weeks or paramedics called to homes unsure what to do with a live miscarried baby whose mother chose to terminate it? It’s a sad day

Tragically for the baby in the womb, by 185 votes to 148 votes, @UKHouseofLords rejected @MoncktonR Baroness Monckton's, amendment to overturn the new extreme clause allowing self administered home abortions up to birth. Peers also rejected by 191 votes to 119 votes Baroness Stroud's amendment to reinstate in-person consultations with a medical professional, prior to an abortion taking place at home. So, a bad day for vulnerable women, a bad day for the unborn child, a bad day for medical ethics and a bad day for the sanctity of human life. Nevertheless, both in @UKParliament , and in public polling, people have been reassessing and rejecting laws that have led to the ending of one UK life every two minutes -300,000 every year. In 1967, when abortion was made legal, just 29 MPs voted pro life- so, opposition has grown. But, bad laws will only change when the public push the right to life up the political agenda.

The Christian Institute’s Simon Calvert said: “It is unutterably grim that the House of Lords has voted to permit a woman to take the life of her baby just days before birth. “They have shown little regard for public feeling which is strongly opposed to this. They have dehumanised the unborn to a shocking new degree. And they have abandoned women. “Those of us who care about the unborn and their mothers must renew our efforts to expose the consequences of what our politicians have done today so that, one day, it can be reversed.” christian.org.uk/news/peers-vot…

Amanda Spielman's speech was brilliant. Worth bookmarking this to see if and when, in the years to come, progressives deploy precisely the arguments she describes (from about 3mins 25 onwards) to justify expanding abortion up to birth in clinical settings

Government kept their Peers here in order to complete Report Stage on the Govt’s Crime Bill. That impacted turnout on the ‘free vote’ issue of abortion.
