How abortion is impacting our country
How abortion is impacting our country
Since the 1967 Abortion Act was implemented, over 10 million lives have been tragically ended in the womb in the UK, with an annual rate of over 200,000. Each one of these lives was a unique, irreplaceable human being worthy of life and love.
2021 saw the highest ever annual abortion figures in the UK – 214,869 lives were tragically ended in the womb. With the introduction of home abortions in 2020, also known as pills-by-post or DIY abortions, we have seen these dramatically increase In 2021. Where these abortions took place in England and Wales many women had no face-to-face consultation, no direct contact with a doctor, no scan, they self-managed their own abortion in the isolation of their own bedroom or bathroom and were left to dispose of their own dead child.
By now you will most likely have heard the sad news regarding national buffer zones. It is appalling that this proposal was ever put forward when there has never been any evidence demonstrating that intimidation or harassment has taken place outside any abortion centre in the country and bearing in mind that an in-depth assessment which took place in 2018 showed the peaceful nature of vigils and the conclusion was that national buffer zones would be disproportionate. But the amendment which would at least have safeguarded silent prayer near abortion centres was defeated 299 to 116.
We are seeing wave after wave of new attacks on the preborn child from abortion providers as well as some of the leading medical organisations such as the British Medical Association (BMA), The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and The Royal college of Gynaecologists (RCOG) who are all pushing for so called ‘decriminalisation’ which in reality will mean abortion up till birth for any reason or none.
Women have paid a particularly high price for legalised abortion as figures now show that one in four pregnancies ends in abortion. In 2020 495 women every month attended hospital for treatment relating to their medical abortion. For those having pills-by-post abortions in 2020, 1 in every 17 of them ended up in hospital with complications from their home abortion.
We believe women deserve better than this. If our answer to a woman’s crisis pregnancy is to help her destroy her own child then we don’t offer a solution at all but are simply swapping one problem for a far greater one.
