  • Farage Slams Late Abortions

    Reform UK leader and MP for Clacton, Nigel Farage, has branded the UK24-week abortion limit “utterly ludicrous”, “irrational” and “totally out of date”.

    Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the Reform MP and party leader said “I think it’s ludicrous, utterly ludicrous that we can allow abortion up to 24 weeks. And yet, if a child is born prematurely at 22 weeks, your local hospital will move heaven and earth and probably succeed in that child surviving and going on and living a normal life”.

    “So I believe there is an inconsistency in the law. I believe it is totally out of date”.

    “I think our current situation on this is irrational”, Farage added.

    A large majority of the British public support reducing the abortion time limit. Polling undertaken by leading pollster ComRes found that 60% of the general population and 70% of women support a reduction in the time limit to 20 weeks or below.

    The same polling showed 60% of both Conservative and Labour voters supported a reduction in the time limit to 20 weeks or below. 65% of Liberal Democrat voters were in favour of a reduction in the abortion time limit to 20 weeks or below. Significantly, among those with children aged 18 or under in their household, 69% supported reducing the abortion limit to 20 weeks gestation or below.

    Clear and informed evidence has also been presented by experts in the field showing the improved survival rates for babies born before the current abortion limit. Medical doctor, John Wyatt, who is Emeritus Professor of Neonatal Paediatrics, Ethics & Perinatology at University College London and who has worked as a neonatologist for almost 30 years, has  presented evidence from the UK and across the world “that there has been a steady improvement in the chances of survival of babies born at 22 and 23 weeks gestation since the Abortion Act was last amended [in 1990]”. 

    Professor Wyatt supported the lowering of the abortion limit to 22 weeks, saying “[T]he current abortion time limit of 24 weeks is not consistent with survival figures for babies born at 22 and 23 weeks gestation, and with current clinical, neonatal and paediatric practice”.

    Farage’s abortion law comments are “obviously correct” 

    Farage was supported in his comments by Dr Calum Miller, NHS doctor and research associate at the University of Oxford specialising in abortion policy, who remarked “He is obviously correct”. In a separate, strongly worded, post, Miller said “[Farage] knows that the current law allowing abortion up to 6 months is evil and barbaric, whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice”.

    Farage’s reference to “an inconsistency in the law” is also supported by evidence from official abortion data. While the law permits ending the lives of babies at 22 and 23 weeks current medical practice also strives to save the lives of many babies born prematurely at 22 or 23 weeks gestation.

    The annual abortion statistics for England and Wales in 2021 reveal that 755 abortions were performed under Section 1(1)(a) of the Abortion Act when the baby was at 22 or 23 weeks gestation (the vast majority of abortions are permitted under Section 1(1)(a) of the Abortion Act, for which there is currently a 24-week time limit). At the same time, according to a recent study, there were a total of 261 babies born alive at 22 and 23 weeks, before the abortion limit, who survived to discharge from hospital in 2020 and 2021.

    A number of hospitals in England provide specialist care for extremely premature babies, usually those born before 27 weeks gestation, and also perform late-term abortions, between 20 and 23 weeks. According to statistics released by the Department of Health and Social Care, between 2018 and 2021 (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021), Birmingham Women’s Hospital performed 143 abortions where the baby was between 20 and 23 weeks gestation in 2021. At the same time, their neonatal intensive care unit “provides intensive care to premature babies born as early as 23 weeks”. 

    This inconsistency has also been highlighted by former Conservative MP, Caroline Ansell.

    “In the decade to 2019 alone”, Ansell wrote, “the survival rate in the UK for extremely premature babies born at 23 weeks doubled, prompting new guidance from the British Association of Perinatal Medicine (BAPM) that enables doctors to intervene to save premature babies from 22 weeks gestation”.

    The statistics above also highlight the inaccuracy of a statement made by The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) in response to Farage’s comments, which said “[I}t is wrong to suggest that there is any medical evidence that supports a reduction in the abortion time limit”.

    The UK already has an extreme abortion law – we don’t need to make it worse

    Farage’s comment about the law being “irrational” is supported by the fact that the UK abortion law is already extreme, with its time limit double that of the most common abortion limit among European Union (EU) countries.

    In most EU countries, abortion is only legal on demand or on broad social grounds up to 12 weeks gestation, making legislation in the United Kingdom double the average among EU countries.

    When compared to almost every European Union country, it is clear that the United Kingdom is an outlier.

    Among the 27 countries that are member states of the European Union, three have a time limit for abortion on demand or on broad social grounds at 10 weeks, one country at 11 weeks, 15 countries at 12 weeks, 3 countries at 14 weeks and two countries only allow abortion in very limited circumstances. 

    Countries with 12-week limits for abortion on demand or on broad social grounds include Germany, Italy and Belgium as well as the more “liberal” Nordic countries Denmark and Finland. Even Sweden has a time limit for abortion on demand or on broad social grounds that is much lower than the United Kingdom at 18 weeks.The last time the abortion limit was lowered in 1990, the improved survival rates for extremely prematurely born babies was one of the key considerations that motivated this change. By the same logic, and informed by the improved survival rates for babies born at 22 and 23 weeks gestation, the abortion time limit should also be lowered now. 

    Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said “It is significant that Nigel Farage, who calls himself pro-choice, can recognise the ludicrous and contradictory nature of the current abortion law”. 

    “Tonia Antoniazzi claims there is ‘no ethical basis’ for reducing the abortion time limit, but the very fact that an unborn baby’s life can be ended at 24 weeks gestation is itself an ethical basis for reducing the abortion limit.”.

    “Currently, a baby at 22 or 23 weeks gestation could be born prematurely and have a dedicated medical team provide expert care to try to save his or her life, while another baby at the same age could have their life deliberately ended by abortion in the same hospital at the same time”.
    “This is clearly inconsistent and a contradiction in law, a contradiction which must end. We echo Farage’s call for this issue to be debated in Parliament”.

    Dear reader,

    MPs will shortly vote on a proposed change to the law, brought forward by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, that would introduce the most radical change to our abortion laws since the Abortion Act was introduced in 1967.

    This proposed change to the law would make it more likely that healthy babies are aborted at home for any reason, including sex-selective purposes, up to birth.

    Polling undertaken by ComRes shows that only 1% of women support introducing abortion up to birth and that 91% of women agree that sex-selective abortion should be explicitly banned by the law.

    This extreme change must be stopped.

  • Mayor Khan Pushes Cannabis Decriminalisation

    London's liberal-Muslim Mayor is pushing the Government to complete the decriminalisation of the possession of cannabis.

    Sadiq Khan, a long-time activist for liberalising the law, claimed the London Drugs Commission’s (LDC) new report “makes a compelling, evidence-based case for the decriminalisation of possession of small quantities of natural cannabis which the Government should consider”.

    The LDC, which Khan established, claimed the Class B drug should be moved from the Misuse of Drugs Act to the Psychoactive Substances Act. The LDC branded the 14-year maximum prison sentence for possessing enough cannabis to supply to others “extreme, relative to the dangers of cannabis itself”.

    But a Home Office spokesperson emphasised that the Government “has no intention of reclassifying cannabis from a Class B substance”.

    “We will continue to work with partners across health, policing and wider public services to drive down drug use, ensure more people receive timely treatment and support, and make our streets and communities safer.”

    Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp warned: “Possession of cannabis should not be decriminalised like this. We have seen some US and Canadian cities devastated by soft policies on addictive and harmful drugs – now Sadiq Khan wants to send London the same way.

    “Cannabis is illegal for a reason. Cannabis is associated with anti-social behaviour and heavy use can lead to serious psychosis and severe mental health problems. US and Canadian cities which tried this approach have ended up as crime-ridden ghettos with stupefied addicts on the streets and law-abiding citizens frightened to go there”.

    Previous research has linked cannabis use to the development of bipolar disorder in later life.

    A study published by the medical journal Schizophrenia Bulletin in 2017 found a prospective link between teenage cannabis use and the onset of hypomania – often a symptom of bipolar disorder – in a person’s early 20s. It found that those who used cannabis at least two-to-three times a week aged 17 were more likely to experience these symptoms than those who did not.

  • Secret Suicide Risk

    Several MPs have tabled a new amendment to Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill to prevent adults under the age of 25 from secretly ending their lives under the Bill.

    As the assisted suicide Bill returns to Parliament tomorrow, Labour MP Juliet Campbell has tabled an amendment that would require the next of kin to be informed if an adult under the age of 25 has their application for an assisted death approved. Campbell’s amendment states “where the person to whom the referral relates is under the age of 25”, there is an obligation to inform the person’s “next of kin”. 

    With no requirement in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill to inform or involve family, there is nothing in the Bill to prevent assisted suicides taking place in secret in England should it become law. 

    Conservative MP Rebecca Paul, who is supporting the amendment, registered her concerns around the lack of reference to families in the Bill, saying “The current bill prioritises patient autonomy over everything else, and this can be seen in the absence of references to family and next of kin throughout the Bill”.

    “Right now, the first a family may know about the assisted death of their loved one is when they get the call to collect the body. There will be mothers and fathers out there that will get this call about their child if this Bill goes through without improvements to the process and safeguards”.

    She said the amendment “will at least help protect young people, especially those with learning disabilities, by ensuring their families are aware before the drugs are administered”.

    The issue of family involvement was raised during the Bill’s Committee Stage discussions, when Danny Kruger MP tabled an amendment that would have required that the person seeking an assisted suicide sign a declaration saying they have or have not informed their family of their decision. It was not selected.

    During the discussions, Rebecca Paul said “My point is that the family should be listened to and should have a route to legally provide information to the panel. Right now, they have no right to do that”.

  • Biggest Threat to Unborn Since 1967

    Unborn babies in England and Wales face the gravest danger since abotion was legalised back in 1967. An Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi (pictured) has tabled an amendment to a Government Bill that would change the law so it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason, and at any point up to and during birth.

    The amendment (NC1), tabled to the Crime and Policing Bill, would likely lead to a significant increase in the number of women performing late-term abortions at home, endangering the lives of many more women. 

    The proposed change to the law would also lead to an increased number of viable babies’ lives being ended well beyond the 24-week abortion time limit and beyond the point at which they would be able to survive outside the womb.

    Antoniazzi’s amendment does not outline circumstances in which it would continue to be an offence for a woman to perform her own abortion – the changes to the law would apply throughout all nine months of pregnancy and would not exclude sex-selective abortions. 

    By amending the abortion law in this way, self-abortions will, de facto, become possible up to birth for any reason including abortions for sex-selective purposes, as women could mislead abortion providers about their gestational age (as in the case of Carla Foster, who pretended to be 7 weeks pregnant but took pills at 32-34 weeks gestation).

    Sex-selective abortion usually targets baby girls due to a preference among certain parents and some cultures for having sons.

    The Government maintains that, under our current legislation, abortion on the grounds of the sex of the baby is illegal because it is “not one of the lawful grounds for termination of pregnancy” set out in the Abortion Act (which stipulates that abortion can only be performed under specific grounds). 

    However, since the amendment does not outline circumstances in which it would continue to be an offence for a woman to perform her own abortion, the changes to the law would not exclude sex-selective abortions.

    Polling undertaken by ComRes, which has undertaken polls for the BBC, ITV, The Independent and Sky News, shows that only 1% of women support introducing abortion up to birth and 70% of women would support a reduction in the time limit from 24 weeks to 20 weeks or below. 91% of women also oppose sex-selective abortion.

    The same polling showed 60% of both Conservative and Labour voters supported a reduction in the time limit to 20 weeks or below. 65% of Liberal Democrat voters were in favour of a reduction in the abortion time limit to 20 weeks or below. Significantly, among those with children aged 18 or under in their household, 69% supported reducing the abortion limit to 20 weeks gestation or below.

    The polling also showed that 89% of the general population oppose sex-selective abortion. 

    Polling published by the Daily Telegraph shows that more than half of the general public agree that it should remain the case that a woman is breaking the law if she has an abortion of a healthy baby after the current 24-week legal time limit up until birth. Only 16% disagreed.

    A separate poll from Ipsos released in August 2023 shows that only 36% of the British population think abortion should be legal during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. This is a significant decrease in support for abortion up to 20 weeks from the previous year, conducted by the same polling organisation, where 40% of people in Great Britain thought abortion should be legal in the first 20 weeks

  • Assisted Suicide Vote on a Knife-Edge

    The Assisted Suicide vote in Scotland is on a knife-edge. Liam McArthur’s assisted suicide Bill is in doubt, after the Bill passed Stage One by only 14 votes. This means only seven MSPs need to change their vote for the Bill to fall at the final (Stage Three) vote, likely later this year.

    The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill was widely predicted to comfortably pass Stage One, so the result will come as a major shock to assisted suicide campaigners supportive of the Bill.

    Ahead of and during the debate, several MSPs made it clear that they were only voting in favour at Stage One to continue the debate around the Bill, and would only vote for the Bill at Stage Three on condition that there are significant improvements to the Bill before it comes back for its final vote in the Scottish Parliament.

    This means that the McArthur assisted suicide Bill could well have insufficient numbers to pass the final Stage Three vote.

    Last year, the Leadbeater Bill in Westminster passed by 55 votes, a much larger margin, proportionally, than on the McArthur Bill this evening, but following Committee Stage scrutiny, there are growing doubts that it will pass the final vote in the Commons, even after its margin of 55 at the first vote at Westminster.

    A large number of MSPs from across the political spectrum came together to give powerful speeches against the Bill during the debate today. They made it clear that this dangerous and extreme change to Scottish law would put the vulnerable at risk and see the ending of many lives through assisted suicide.

    If you live in Scotland, contact your MSP today and urge them to do the right thing! For Life!
