How can we be so stupid?
By Rev Lynda Rose of Voice for Justice UK
On Wednesday, 18 March, to what one can only feel will be their enduring shame, the House of Lords voted to reject Baroness Monckton’s amendment that would have removed Clause 208 of the Crime and Policing Bill, allowing a woman to abort her baby up to birth, for any or no reason at all, beyond the fact the child is unwanted.
Here in the UK, if we wish our society and culture to survive, we should not be seeking to extend the right to abortion, but rather to support and build strong families, encouraging both mothers and fathers to see their unborn childen as gifts, to be protected, nurtured and cared for. The decriminalisation of abortion is not the display of compassion, as claimed. It is legalised murder of the innocent, who not only deserve our love and care, but on whose existence our future depends.
