Last night’s vote in the House of Lords to decriminalise abortion and effectively legalise it UP TO BIRTH is a deeply regressive and disingenuous development. 😔
It passed by 185 votes to 148.
The attempt by some media outlets to downplay the result as simply being about “pardoning” women for performing illegal abortions is another vile twisting of the truth.
Last night’s result is the culmination of what happens when the most powerful people in society arbitrarily pass judgment on the weakest and most vulnerable members of society and decide to strip them of every last bit of protection.
It may be a bleak and disquieting time for our culture, but we must always leave room for hope.
We congratulate the incredible members of the pro-life movement in the UK who fought so hard for victory last night. We all stand united and will NEVER give up the fight for human dignity and the right to life. 💪🏻
