Britain's MPs have just emerged as latter-day Herods, promoting the slaughter of babies in the most ghastly abortion holocaust in UK history - legalised abortion right up until birth.
Parliament has voted to further liberalise abortion law in England and Wales, despite pleas to protect unborn children and their mothers.
MPs approved Antonia Antoniazzi’s New Clause 1, an amendment to the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill, which will allow a woman to kill her unborn baby at any stage of pregnancy without sanction, by 379 votes to 137. They also rejected a proposal to reinstate in-person consultations under the pills-by-post scheme.
In Great Britain, abortion is currently permitted for most reasons up to 24 weeks, and up to birth if the unborn child is deemed to have a disability. If the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill becomes law, inducing a miscarriage outside of these exemptions will no longer be a crime for the mother.
Antoniazzi, whose New Clause 1 is endorsed by abortion giant BPAS (the British Pregnancy Advisory Service), recently told Times Radio that she was ‘comfortable with any woman ending a pregnancy at any time’.
During the debate, she claimed that the limited protections still afforded to the unborn after the Abortion Act was passed in 1967 were cruel, unjust, not in the public interest, and a carry-over from the ‘Victorian era’.
An amendment by fellow Labour MP Stella Creasy, to enshrine abortion as a ‘human right’ in British law and decriminalise all abortions for whatever the reason — including sex-selective abortions — did not go to a vote.
A number of MPs spoke against decriminalisation, including TUV’s Jim Allister, who asked “whether there is any other area of law governing the taking of life in which the guardrails of the criminal law have been removed? That is what New Clause 1 proposes when it comes to the voiceless child. Is there no thought of protection for them?”
Labour’s Rachael Maskell urged MPs to “consider the baby’s safety as much as the woman’s safety”, while Carla Lockhart (DUP) told the House: “I believe that both lives matter in every pregnancy — both the mum’s life and the child’s life.”
