Never 'part of a woman's body'. A baby of eight weeks gestation, just a month younger than the typical age for abortion

Members of the House of Lords returned to Committee stage, consideration of the Crime and Policing Bill, with particular focus on Clause 191. The provision would decriminalise abortion for women in relation to terminating their own pregnancies.

This clause was added by the House of Commons last year with a large majority, but without a full consultation or dedicated committee review, prompting serious concern among pro-life peers and observers.

Lords such as Lord Alton of Liverpool spoke forcefully against extending abortion law, warning that the clause would represent a radical shift in public policy and parliamentary procedure.

This proposed change is effectively undoing critical legal protections for unborn children. By removing criminal liability for women who self-administer abortions, the law would incentivise unregulated “DIY” procedures outside proper medical oversight, a return, they say, to be unsafe conditions that existed before the Abortion Act 1967.

“Parliament accepts a crime may have been committed”

Baroness Coffey, speaking in support of Amendment 461A told the House of Lords that abortion law in England and Wales still contains legal restrictions, but that in practice those safeguards are being steadily eroded, describing the latest figures as deeply saddening.

“I completely understand why people have very different views on whether this is right or wrong or similar, or whether this is a healthcare treatment, but we have a law in place that puts restrictions on when abortions can happen. It might perhaps feel that those restrictions are really just lip service.

“I appreciate that there will be people in this Committee who do not care what the number is, it is a woman’s right to choose. I do not agree with, or even respect, that point of view, but I understand it.

“As has already been eloquently pointed out, we are now in a situation where Parliament still agrees that a crime may have been committed, but that, through Clause 191, the person carrying the foetus cannot be held responsible in any way. Therefore, the point of my amendment is to suggest that, instead of relying on good faith from the providers, we move to beyond reasonable doubt.”

Psalm 139:13–14 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

“Good laws require careful thought”

Baroness Monckton of Dallington Forest has called for amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill that would allow women to terminate their pregnancies at any stage and for any reason.

The Tory peer warned that, left unchanged, the Bill could lead to more women attempting to end their pregnancies beyond the current 24-week limit for terminations.

Lady Monckton is attempting to reverse the change by removing the “radical” Clause 191 from the Bill in the House of Lords.

She said: “Our role as parliamentarians, especially in this House, is to ensure that laws that make it on to the statute book are safe. Good laws require careful thought and prior consideration regarding any unintended consequences. Clause 191 fails to meet these criteria and should not become law. It was hastily added to an unrelated Bill and concerns a proposal that was neither a government manifesto commitment, nor called for by the public, nor subject to even rudimentary scrutiny.

“Let me be clear: the law change proposed by Clause 191 does not relate primarily to one’s views on abortion, on which there will be a range of perspectives in this House. The abortion debate is often presented as pitting the rights of a woman against the rights of an unborn child at varying stages of development.

“Laws exist for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, they exist to deter us from doing things that would cause significant harm to ourselves or others, out of motives that may be devious or simply desperate.”

Proverbs 6:16–17 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood.

“Britain has got a problem”

Miriam Cates MP has proposed a bill to let parents see RSE materials. — Miriam Cates MP says ‘Britain has got a problem’.

Recently, commenting on the latest abortion statistics, Conservative, pro-life commentator and former MP Miriam Cates wrote in The Telegraph that: “Around one in three pregnancies now ends in abortion. This is a moral and economic tragedy. We have become accustomed to record-breaking statistical releases, whether on inflation, energy prices or summer temperatures. But this revelation is not just another official data dump; behind the numbers are 300,000 more lives that will never be lived.”

Ms Cates added that “record abortion numbers are not only an economic concern; they are a social and moral issue too. This is a terrible indictment of our society. The UK is an outlier when it comes to regulation; we allow abortion on demand until 24 weeks gestation, where the European average is just 12 weeks.”

In Parliament last year, Ms Cates also warned that moves toward abortion decriminalisation are “extreme” and contrary to a balanced and humane understanding of both life and law, arguing that such proposals would further erode legal protections for unborn children.

Abortion stats

Abortion figures in England and Wales have hit record levels. Recent statistics show that there were 277,970 abortions in 2023, an 11% increase on the year before, the highest since the Abortion Act was introduced and independent estimates suggest numbers may exceed 300,000 annually across the UK.

These trends are evidence of a deepening culture of abortion, not simply a problem of law but of societal priorities.

Church leaders and Christian organisations have not been silent. Following last year’s Commons vote to decriminalise aspects of abortion law, the Bishop of London emphasised the need for compassion and care for women in crisis, while also warning that removing legal protections could “undermine the value of unborn life” and leave vulnerable women at greater risk.

We urge Parliament to pursue holistic support, including better counselling, financial assistance, and community care for women and families, rather than legislation that normalises termination. These perspectives stress both moral imperatives and pastoral responsibilities.

‘Why abortion is on the rise’

Former chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the UK's largest independent abortion provider' — Former chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the UK’s largest independent abortion provider’

Ann Furedi, former journalist and abortion rights activist wrote on Spiked Online in relation to the increase of abortion cases: “This kind of uptick in abortion numbers suggests something specific has changed. This has only happened once before in the mid-1990s when a panic about the safety of the most popular contraceptive pills triggered tens of thousands of women to stop taking them.

“Some have attempted to blame the rise on financial insecurity, housing problems and the closure of family-planning clinics. But such explanations don’t cut it. Thirty years working in abortion services taught me that there is no direct correlation between the state of the economy or housing provision and abortion numbers.”

She also wrote that the key driver of abortion is, “likely to have been the government’s decision to allow abortion pills to be sent by post during the Covid lockdown – a temporary allowance that the government later made permanent. Adding that the ability to take a pill at home rather than have to attend an in-person clinic appointment further transformed the perception and experience of abortion.

“Many women found that abortion suddenly became far more acceptable than it had been previously.”

The collision of medical, legal and ethical claims

Pro-abortion organisations and medical bodies have strongly supported decriminalisation, framing it as a matter of healthcare and rights, not criminal law, citing concerns about women being investigated or prosecuted under outdated statutes. However, contest this framing, arguing that law reflects a society’s moral commitments, not merely administrative convenience.

They warn that redefining abortion law without robust ethical debate and safeguards risks treating unborn children as legal non-entities rather than human beings with inherent worth.

A cultural moment of choice and consequence

This week’s Lords debate was more than parliamentary procedure; it was a cultural watershed. We at Christian Voice stress that the abortion debate in the UK is not confined to law but speaks to how society perceives human life, responsibility, and community obligations.

As the Crime and Policing Bill progresses to Report stage, pro-life voices within Parliament and the wider Christian community are urging careful scrutiny of any proposal that could weaken legal protection for the unborn, shift societal norms towards a termination-centric paradigm and most importantly arm people with the rights to take lives that they can not create.

Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

This moment calls for prayerful engagement, informed public discourse, and policy that respects both mothers and their unborn children. The coming weeks will reveal whether the Lords uphold the deeper moral tradition that champions life at all stages.

MSP Pulls Support from Assisted Suicide Bill

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

21 January 2026

Audrey Nicoll MSP has announced her withdrawal of support for Liam McArthur’s assisted suicide Bill.

Audrey Nicoll MSP has publicly withdrawn her backing for Liam McArthur’s assisted suicide legislation, dealing a significant blow to a Bill that has already divided Holyrood. Her decision follows months of scrutiny and reflection, shaped in large part by her professional background and experience with vulnerable individuals at the sharpest edges of society.

The former police officer and current convener of the Scottish Parliament’s Criminal Justice Committee, said her work with those most at risk had convinced her that any loosening of the law would inevitably expose some people to pressure to end their own lives. She warned that safeguards written on paper are often powerless against subtle coercion in real life.

The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill passed its first parliamentary hurdle by 70 votes to 56. However, several MSPs made clear they supported the Bill only to allow further debate, not because they were persuaded by its moral or legal foundations. With Nicoll’s withdrawal, just six more MSPs changing position would be enough to halt the Bill at its next vote.

Proverbs 31:8–9 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Pressure Behind Closed Doors

In an open letter to colleagues, the SNP warned that the Bill underestimates the reality of coercion. She stressed that pressure to opt for assisted suicide may not always be overt, but could arise through emotional dependency, financial strain, family exhaustion, or a perceived duty to relieve others of a burden.

She cautioned that international experience shows how quickly such laws expand beyond their original intent. What begins as a narrow measure for the terminally ill often evolves into broader eligibility, weaker oversight, and a shifting cultural message about whose lives are considered worth living.

The MSP also highlighted her concern that post-legislative scrutiny would be inadequate. Once the law is changed and deaths occur, safeguards cannot be retroactively repaired. In her view, Parliament would be gambling with lives it has a duty to protect.

Isaiah 59:14–15 Judgment is turned away backward… and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey.

Return to the UK’s Christian Constitution →

Cracks in the Case

Support for the Bill has continued to erode as proposed amendments have repeatedly been rejected.

Other MSPs have echoed these concerns. Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes, Conservative MSP Edward Mountain, and Labour’s Michael Marra have all criticised the refusal to accept what they described as reasonable and necessary amendments. They warned that the Bill risks serious consequences for disabled people, the elderly, and those with complex needs.

A cross-party group of parliamentarians recently cautioned that Scotland could drift toward a system in which people feel driven to die through the NHS because adequate care, dignity and support to live are no longer reliably available.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.

“Healers to Agents of Death”

Opposition to the Bill is not confined to politicians. Medical, legal and disability professionals have repeatedly raised the alarm. We at Christian Voice have raised serious concerns.

Dr Gordon Macdonald, Chief Executive of Care Not Killing, said concern is growing within Holyrood that the Bill may not even be legally competent — a view reportedly shared by Scotland’s Health Secretary, Neil Gray.

Macdonald warned that without clarity from Westminster and amid mounting internal dissent, the Bill is entering “troubled waters”. He noted that similar laws elsewhere have expanded in scope, leaving vulnerable people exposed to irreversible decisions made under pressure.

Many palliative care specialists have also argued that assisted suicide undermines trust in medicine, shifting doctors from healers to agents of death, and risks diverting attention and funding away from end-of-life care that affirms life rather than ending it.

Matthew 9:12 They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

A Moral Line

Audrey Nicoll’s decision has sharpened the moral stakes of the debate. At its heart lies a simple question: will Scotland respond to suffering by offering death, or by strengthening care, compassion and solidarity? Once the state authorises killing as a solution, it crosses a line that cannot easily be uncrossed.

For Christians, the answer is clear. Human life does not lose its value through illness, disability or dependency. Laws shape culture, and a law that legitimises assisted suicide inevitably teaches that some lives are expendable.

As this Bill edges closer to its decisive vote, MSPs face not only a political choice, but a moral reckoning, one that will define how Scotland treats its weakest citizens.

John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

PRAY: Pray for courage and clarity for MSPs, that they would resist pressure and uphold the protection of life, especially for the most vulnerable.

Pray for compassion rooted in truth, that suffering would be met with care, not abandonment, and with hope rather than death.

Pray for repentance and wisdom in public life, that Scotland would choose policies that affirm life and honour God’s design for human dignity.

Join our Pro-Life Witness at two abortion conferences this December!

Abortion & Euthanasia

Stephen

5 December 2025

Outside the FSRH/RCOG conference December 2024, engaging with leading abortion-promoting celebrity Simphiwe Sessane.

We are planning two pro-life witness events in December 2025 to provide an opportunity for Christians to stand up for the Lord and for human life.

This will be the second year we have witnessed in early December outside the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) and outside the Royal College of Nursing.

Dates and Venues

The pro-abortion ‘Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare’ of the RCOG has now decided it’s a ‘College’, the CoSRH. Their annual conference on ‘sexual and reproductive healthcare’ will be held on Friday, 5th December 2025. The address is 10-18 Union Street, London SE1 1SZ. It’s not far from Borough Tube and London Bridge Station. We’ll be there from 8.00am.

Royal College of Nursing HQ, 20 Cavendish Square, London W1G 0RN

The Women’s Health Forum Conference of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) will be held on Tuesday, 9th December 2025. The address of the RCN is 20 Cavendish Square , Marylebone , London W1G 0RN. We’ll be there from 9.00am.

Neither venue is in an ‘abortion buffer zone’.

Beliefs and realities

CoSRH are extremists who believe strongly in Sexual and Reproductive Health & Rights (SRHR).

Extreme pro-abortion Tonia Antoniazzi MP is a perfect fit for the CoSRH Conference

One of their speakers will be the pro-abortion Tonia Antoniazzi, MP for Gower.

SRHR is promoted relentlessly by the UN, WHO, Western governments and NGOs and the abortion providers, International Planned Parenthood (IPPF) and Marie Stopes Ionternational (MSI) to the developing world. They say: ‘We believe that access to sexual and reproductive healthcare is a fundamental right.’ Well, it isn’t in any human rights instrument so they are wrong and need to be challenged.

The RCN conference will be equally pro-abortion. One prominent speaker is Charlotte Glynn. She is the Vice Chair of the RCN Women’s Health Forum Committee but she is also ‘Lead Nurse at the British Pregnancy Advisory Service’, Britain’s largest abortion provider.

Another speaker will be nurse Simphiwe Sesane (pronounced Simp-hiwe Sess-ah-nay). The South African founded ‘Black Nurses and Midwives UK’, but she previously worked for twelve years for MSI.

Simphiwe is on the CoSRH committee pushing abortion worldwide.

What were you in your mother’s womb

We’ll give out our leaflets asking the question no abortionist ever wants to answer: What were You in your Mother’s Womb to those attending. Were you a human baby? It’s the question abortionists will never answer. Because if you weren’t a tiny human being in there, what were you?

The psalmist has no hesitation. That was ‘me’ in my mother’s womb:

'What were you in your mother's womb?' (outside) Click on the PDF link to see and download both sides. — ‘What were you in your mother’s womb?’ (outside) Click on the PDF link to see and download both sides.

Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins (kidneys or insides): thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

There is of course plenty of scope for other approaches; the streets are open and we believe in freedom of expression.

Read & Pray

READ: Gen 26:22; Deut 27:25; Psalm 106:37-38, 139:13; Prov 6:16, 16:18; Eccl 11:5; Jer 19:5; Matt 19:14; Gal 1:15.

PRAY: For a good turn-out of believers. Pray that the hearts and minds of pro-abortion doctors and nurses will be impacted and changed, that they will turn to Christ and be saved and delivered.

20 June 2025

Members of the Parliament of the United Kingdom have voted for death over life twice in one week. On Tuesday 17th June 2025 they voted to allow women to kill their pre-born children up to birth, high-jacking the Government Crime and Policing Bill. On Friday 20th they gave a third and final reading to the ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’.

Voting in Hansard

The vote to decriminalise abortion was passed by 379 votes to 137, a majority of 242, dwarfing the number who did not vote at all. How your MP voted. Here is the BBC story

The vote for assisted suicide was closer, 314 votes to 291, a majority of 23. How your MP voted. Here is the Telegraph’s story

Both measures will now pass to the House of Lords. We shall have to pray their Lordships recognise that neither measure was a manifesto commitment. May they stand up for the people against MPs. Decriminalisation of abortion is opposed by a massive majority of the population. Assisted suicide is approved, but not for the sort of cases of emotional troubles which are where it inevitably ends. Our leaders must repent and turn back to the King of kings:

British Establishment is now pro-abortion

Despite public opinion, according to the Guardian, no fewer than six royal medical colleges, led by the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, the Royal College of General Practitioners and the Royal College of Nursing, in addition to the British Medical Association, welcomed and/or actually campaigned for decriminalisation.

Also on Friday 20th June 2025 Abortionists calling themselves ‘Doctors for Choice’ (what choice does the baby have?) held an all-day conference in South London. They were openly calling for abortion to be decriminalised with no limits on gestational age, to align England and Wales with Northern Ireland and impose on the United Kingdom the most extreme anti-life legislation possible. Ironically they gathered in the Fetal Medicine Research Institute at London’s Denmark Hill, which is dedicated to saving infant life.

They will see no contradiction. Approving of abortion is now an article of faith among the British establishment. Doctors were more equivocal over assisted suicide, but that made no difference to MPs. They are imposing their death-wish on us all. This may well come to be seen as the week Great Britain died.

MPS vote to decriminalise abortion

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

17 June 2025

Parliament has voted to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales. This is supposedly in support for women who end their pregnancies outside the existing legal framework, in what is being described by secular campaigners as a “landmark moment.”

The amendment, led by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, passed with support of 379 MPs in favour, 137 against. That is an majority of 242.

This is the most drastic overhaul of abortion law in England and Wales since the 1967 Abortion Act. But beneath the applause of activists and professional bodies lies a chilling reality: the amendment marks the removal of the final legal consequence for ending a human life in the womb.

The previous legal boundary allowed abortion up to 24 weeks, with exceptions for serious risk to the mother’s life or severe fetal abnormality. That was already the most extreme abortion law in Europe. Yet under the new provision, women who bypass these rules—including aborting after 24 weeks—will no longer face prosecution.

For a society that claims to be progressive, this vote is profoundly regressive. It regresses to the oldest deception in history:

Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil.

Support NCCSS / Christian Voice →

The Political Theatre of “Compassion”

MPs were allowed a free vote on this “issue of conscience,” yet their conscience appears curiously selective. Where was the conscience for the viable child who, at 24 weeks or less, could survive outside the womb? Or for human life itself, for a baby three weeks from conception with a beating heart?

Where was the conscience when women like Nicola Packer—whose tragic story was cited as justification—delivered stillborn babies after misusing abortion pills? Parliament has responded not with serious reform of support services, but with a callous shrug: just remove the law.

The rhetoric used in support of the amendment was deeply emotive but logically flawed. Supporters painted a picture of vulnerable women being dragged from hospital beds into police custody. This, though tragic in isolated cases, is not what happened. The solution is not to strip legal safeguards, but to ensure fair and informed medical processes, and to treat women with dignity without removing protection for the unborn.

Baby in the womb dehumanised

Proponents like Stella Creasy even went further, pushing for abortion to be enshrined as a ‘human right.’ It isn’t, not in any international human rights instrument. But what of the rights of the child in the womb? What of the human rights of those who will now be aborted with no legal consequence?

The abortionists have to dehumanise the child in the womb, to pretend he or she is not human. That is why our current campaign, ‘What were you in your mother’s womb?’ is devastating to the abortionists.

True compassion balances care for the mother with protection for the child. It does not abandon one to ‘be kind’ to the other.

Proverbs 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

Return to the UK’s Christian Constitution →

Britain’s History of Abortion Creep

This amendment is not a standalone development. It follows a troubling trajectory in UK abortion policy. In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown, the government quietly introduced the ’pills by post’ scheme – allowing women to abort at home without medical supervision. This temporary emergency measure was later made permanent, despite concerns over safety, coercion, and accountability.

Now, with the passage of Antoniazzi’s amendment, abortion law has effectively been hollowed out. While it technically maintains time limits and regulatory conditions, the removal of criminal penalties for violating them renders these rules toothless. It’s legal in theory, unenforced in practice. It’s back-street abortion, which the proponents of abortion in the 1960s professed to be against.

MPs like Dr Caroline Johnson attempted to stem the tide by proposing simple safeguards like mandatory in-person consultations before prescribing abortion medication. Her amendment was defeated. Meanwhile, campaigners with a vested interest, like Heidi Stewart from BPAS, hailed the vote as a victory against ‘archaic laws.’ But the true arc is toward darkness – not progress.

This is a warning to every believer and church in the UK. We must remember how gradual erosion leads to collapse. In 1967, abortion was legalised under strict conditions. Decades later, it’s a routine service. Now, even the mildest legal restraint is too much. We have moved from reluctant acceptance to celebratory abandon. And the victims lie in silence.

A Call to the Church: Resist, Pray, Speak

As MPs cheer what they call “freedom,” the Church must grieve. This vote is not just a political loss; it is a spiritual defeat. It is a signal that Britain has hardened its heart, not only to God’s law but to His mercy. This generation of lawmakers no longer trembles at the thought of innocent blood being shed—because they have redefined it out of existence.

Now more than ever, Christian leaders and believers must rise—not in rage, but in resolve. We must support crisis pregnancy centres, advocate for pro-life education, and ensure that women in distress are met with love, not lies. We must call out political hypocrisy that celebrates death under the name of care and abandon.

We also call upon Parliament to remember its solemn duty—not to trends, not to activists, but to justice. The unborn are not accidents, burdens, or clumps of tissue. They are made in the image of God. Decriminalising their destruction does not remove the stain of it. It simply makes a nation more comfortable in its rebellion.

Let us pray for the reversal of this amendment. Let us speak truth where lies abound. And let us live out the Gospel that values every life, from womb to tomb. For though Parliament may forget, Heaven does not.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee.

Pro-Life Witness to Abortion Conference

Abortion & Euthanasia

Stephen

9 June 2025

Abortionists calling themselves ‘Doctors for Choice’ (what choice does the baby have?) are to hold an all-day conference in South London on Friday 20th June. They are openly calling for abortion to be decriminalised with no limits on gestational age, to align England & Wales with Northern Ireland and impose on the United Kingdom the most extreme anti-life legislation possible.

Christian Voice will be present outside, by the grace of God, handing out these leaflets: What were You in your Mother’s Womb to those attending, asking them just what they were when they were in their mother’s womb. It’s the question abortionists will never answer. If you weren’t a human being in there, what were you? But the psalmist says that was ‘me’ in my mother’s womb:

Psa 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins (kidneys or insides): thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

Yesterday, MPs voted not to prosecute any woman for having an abortion up to birth, in effect, to legitimise ‘back-street’ abortions. On Friday, they will vote on assisted dying. Email your MP on either matter or both (send separate emails) now from the link below:

What’s involved

We are praying the Lord will raise up those will come out on to the street outside the Fetal Medicine Research Institute, 16-20 Windsor Walk London SE5 8BB at 9.00am on Friday 20th June 2025 to support this outreach to the UK’s leading abortionists.

Jobs involve giving out leaflets/tracts (PDF HERE – it’s folded DL – feel free to use it elsewhere – use 160gm card ), holding cameras/phones, witnessing and just being there in support. We shall be on the public highway.

Take the Windsor Walk exit at Denmark Hill Station

Public transport will be your best bet. Denmark Hill Station (DMK) is a stone’s throw away. Take the Windsor Walk exit and turn left out of the station. In addition, buses 40, 176, 185, 484 come from Lewisham Station, Dulwich Library or Penge. Aim for the stainless steel pregnant woman statue at the western end of Windsor Walk. Our evangelistic prophetic witness follows on from our successful endeavours in December 2024. See how well they went, by the grace of God:

Outside the Fetal Medicine Research Institute. Look for the statue.

The conference is called: ‘Breaking siloes: abortion beyond the clinic’. (There was a time when abortionists raised the dread spectre of ‘back-street abortions’. Now they campaign for it. But of course it’s all about ‘Pills by Post’ these days.)

It is being convened by ‘Doctors for Choice UK (DFCUK)’, an offshoot of the heavily pro-abortion Royal College of Obstretricians and Gynaecologists and its ‘Faculty of Reproductive Health’ (which believes there is a ‘human right’ to abortion – there isn’t) together with ‘Abortion Talk’, which ‘fights abortion stigma’.

There are apparently people around (people like us) who think that shedding innocent blood isn’t quite what a civilised society, one without a death-wish, should be doing. The Bible tells us innocent blood defiles the land:

The abortionists will repair to the Phoenix pub afterwards - where we can engage with them. — The abortionists will repair to the Phoenix pub afterwards – where we can engage with them.

Deut 19:10 That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so blood be upon thee.

To hold such a conference at the Fetal Medicine Research Institute, dedicated to saving infant life in the womb, is a macabre twist. It’s a all-day programme, and afterwards they are planning to socialise at the nearby Phoenix Pub, situated on the railway bridge, from 17:00 hrs or 5pm. Thanks for the invite!

Abortionists plotting decriminalisation

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

6 June 2025

This baby at six weeks already has a beating heart. Abortion involves two human beings, one of whom is dependent on the other.

CW2506Abortion Abortionists plot decriminalisation

Tonia Antoniazzi writing about abortion amendment on her facebook page. — Tonia Antoniazzi made a post about abortion amendment on her facebook page.

Christian Voice will be present outside, by the grace of God, handing out these leaflets: What were You in your Mother’s Womb to those attending, asking them just what they were when they were in their mother’s womb. The evangelistic prophetic witness follows on from our successful endeavours outside the Royal College of Obstetricians (Video) and the Royal College of Nursing (Video) in December 2024.

MP to table pro-death amendment

Meanwhile, Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi is poised to table an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill at its Report Stage. Christian Voice warns that the move could represent “the biggest threat to the unborn since 1967.”

Abortion on demand up to birth is a direct challenge to the sanctity of human life, a concept foundational to our Christian faith and a core tenet of God’s unchanging law:

Gen 4:10 And he (God) said (to Cain), What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

This amendment seeks to further dismantle the already fragile protections afforded to the unborn, paving the way for a more permissive and ultimately, more barbaric, abortion regime.

As faithful Christians, we are called to be watchmen on the wall, sounding the alarm against such spiritual darkness. We must act now, making our voices heard in the halls of power, for the lives of countless innocents hang in the balance.

Exodus 20:13 You shall not kill. (H: ‘ratsach’: ‘murder’)

Decriminalisation: Code for abortion on demand, up to birth

The seemingly benign term “decriminalisation” masks a radical agenda that seeks to remove all legal safeguards for the unborn.

This push by Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, and supported by bodies like the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), aims to treat abortion not as a regrettable last resort, but rebranded as a routine medical procedure, free from the few remaining legal constraints.

This is a profound betrayal of the Hippocratic Oath, which historically pledged to protect life. Instead, the RCOG, under the guise of “choice,” is promoting a system where unborn children can be legally eliminated at any stage of development. It means the potential for abortion on demand, at any stage of pregnancy, up to the very moment of birth.

The current law, however flawed, at least acknowledges the gravity of taking a human life. Decriminalisation would effectively declare open season on the unborn, enshrining a culture of death where convenience trumps life. This is a chilling prospect, utterly at odds with the Christian understanding of human dignity from conception.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.

Proverbs 24:11 Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.

The legislative pathway to perdition

The chosen vehicle for this radical abortion amendment – the Crime and Policing Bill – is itself a cynical tactic to bypass proper scrutiny and public debate.

This crucial piece of legislation, designed to address law and order, is being hijacked to usher in changes that could fundamentally alter the legal status of the unborn.

The amendment will be tabled at the Report Stage, a point in the parliamentary process where significant changes can be introduced with less public attention than earlier stages. This deliberate maneuver highlights the desperation of those who seek to push through this extreme agenda.

We urge all faithful to monitor this bill closely, understand its stages, and continue to pressure our representatives to resist this stealth attack on innocent life. The parliamentary process, meant to protect, is being perverted to destroy.

Isaiah 5:20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

The Pro-Abortion Machine vs. The Pro-Life Resistance

As the battle for the unborn intensifies, we see the forces of death organising their ranks.

In 2025, several abortion-related conferences are scheduled, including “Breaking Silos: abortion beyond the clinic” organised by “Doctors for Choice UK and Abortion Talk.” This chilling title reveals their ambition: to normalise and expand abortion beyond all conventional boundaries, stripping away its last vestiges of medical and moral scrutiny.

Yet, against this darkness, the light of truth continues to shine. While the abortion industry seeks to dismantle all barriers, we, the defenders of life, are called to stand firm, to pray, and to educate, equipping our youth to be unwavering voices for the voiceless.

This session contrasts the pro-abortion “Breaking Silos” conference, its organisers, and its dangerous agenda to normalise abortion “beyond the clinic” with the hopeful resistance offered by SPUC’s pro-life youth conference, underscoring the ongoing ideological and spiritual battle.

Bible Verse: “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” (Ephesians 6:12)

Unmasking the abortion agenda and defending life

The battle against the Tonia Antoniazzi amendment and the broader decriminalisation agenda is far from over. While the exact date for the amendment to be tabled remains unannounced, our vigilance must not waver. The phone number for the Government whips’ office has been provided for those brave enough to challenge the political establishment directly. This is a call to action for every Christian: pray fervently, speak boldly, and act decisively.

Holding the conference in the “Fetal Medicine Research Institute”, dedicated to saving life in the womb, serves as a stark reminder of how deeply embedded this culture of death is within our medical elite, even within seemingly neutral scientific and academic spheres. We must continue to expose the dark underbelly of this industry, educate others on the truth about life in the womb, and tirelessly advocate for legal protections that truly reflect God’s reverence for every human life, from conception to natural death. Our ultimate hope lies not in earthly laws alone, but in the power of God to transform hearts and minds, turning our nation back towards the path of life.

Key issues for this final session include the continuing uncertainty of the amendment’s tabling date and the urgent call for Christians to contact government officials. It also warns against the pervasive influence of the culture of death, even within seemingly neutral institutions like “fetal medicine research institutes,” urging ongoing prayer, education, and advocacy.

Romans 12:21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Assisted Suicide Bill: Parliament Poised to Play God

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

16 May 2025

Today, Parliament has voted to allow health staff to opt out of assisted dying process. The Assisted Dying Bill, is a proposal that, if passed, would allow terminally ill patients to legally request lethal medication.

The legislation passed its first stage in the House of Commons last November – but since then the details have been pored over and dozens of amendments added by both sides.

It is being sold as a compassionate, dignified end. But beneath the surface lies something much darker: the legalisation of suicide under state approval, funded by a national health service created to preserve life.

This Bill is not merely a policy proposal, it is a moral revolution. For the first time, the UK would allow its doctors to stop treating and start k*lling. The very institution founded to protect life from cradle to grave would become an agent of intentional death.

The Bible says,
Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.
Once we cross that line, where does it end? Legal permission today becomes moral expectation tomorrow. It is an assault on the image of God in man.

The debate

Friday’s parliamentary discussions saw MPs contemplate further amendments, notably one that would restrict medical professionals from initiating conversations about assisted dying with patients. However, the abrupt adjournment before any votes could be cast raises concerns about the thoroughness of this legislative process. The subsequent scheduling of further debate and a pivotal vote on the bill’s progression to its next stage in June suggests a piecemeal approach to a matter of profound ethical significance. Furthermore, the government’s declared neutrality and the granting of a free vote to MPs, while “ostensibly respecting individual conscience”, could also be interpreted as an abdication of leadership on an issue demanding clear and principled guidance. The original provision within the bill, absolving medical practitioners from any obligation to participate and safeguarding them from discrimination based on their conscientious objection, appears as a foundational but perhaps insufficient attempt to navigate the complex ethical landscape surrounding state-sanctioned death.

A health service turned inside out

The NHS was created to heal, to alleviate suffering, not eliminate the sufferer. By endorsing physician-assisted suicide, the state rewrites the DNA of our healthcare system. As the Spectator rightly argues, the Bill turns the health service into its opposite: not a defender of life, but a gateway to death.

Can the same doctor tasked with delivering babies also be expected to issue lethal doses? Can the same system that rightly fights to prevent suicide in one patient be encouraged to assist it in another?

James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

The slippery slope is real

Proponents of assisted dying insist on “strict safeguards”, a terminal diagnosis, sound mind, voluntary request. But international evidence shows these safeguards always loosen.

In Canada, assisted death now accounts for over 4% of all deaths — and includes those with mental illness. In Belgium and the Netherlands, it’s extended to children.

The logic is cruelly consistent: if death is a solution to suffering, why limit it to terminal illness? Why not to chronic pain, loneliness, or despair? Once we legitimise death as medicine, suffering becomes a burden too easily solved by silence.

The door Parliament opens tomorrow will not close — it will swing wider with every passing year.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Return to the UK’s Christian Constitution →

Suicide for some, prevention for others

One of the gravest contradictions in this Bill is its handling of suicide itself. We invest millions in suicide prevention campaigns, charities, and hotlines.

We tell young people their life has value, that help is available, and that darkness does not last forever. And yet, in the same breath, we will now say: “But for you, death is acceptable. We’ll help you with it.”

This is hypocrisy of the highest order. It undermines the entire foundation of mental health care and casts vulnerable people adrift.

John 10:10 says; The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life.

Life is not ours to give and take as we please. It is sacred. It is God’s gift — and God’s to end.

The quiet pressure to di*

Advocates speak of choice, but in practice, this bill will pressure the elderly, the sick, and the disabled to see themselves as burdens. What begins as a “right to die” can quickly feel like a duty to die. When budgets are stretched, families are tired, and pain is complex, assisted suicide becomes the convenient option.

Who will reassure the lonely widow that her life still matters when the system quietly offers her an exit? Who will defend the dignity of those whose very existence will now be seen as negotiable?

Galatians 6:2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

The Christian view does not deny suffering, it walks with it. Our calling is not to terminate the suffering person, but to love and serve them as Christ served us.

A line we cannot cross

As Christians, we cannot support a law that contradicts both Scripture and conscience. The Assisted Dying Bill violates the sixth commandment, undermines the NHS, confuses the message on suicide, and weakens protections for the vulnerable. It is unbiblical, unethical, and ultimately unkind.

The road to death should never be made smooth by the state. True compassion is found not in euthanasia but in palliative care, prayer, and presence. The gospel offers hope in life and in death — but never death as hope.

Deuteronomy 30:19 Set before you this day life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.

As the debate unfolds, may Christian voices speak with clarity and courage: this is a line our nation must not cross.

Christian Voice in Uganda

Stephen

24 January 2025

With Rt Hon David Bahati MP: Judy is second right.

Your prayers and support have enabled a blessed week of doors opening and divine appointments in Kampala.

Overnight to Kampala

The 'jam' in Kampala. (Actually, we were waiting for the Presidential convoy to pass.) — The ‘jam’ in Kampala. (Actually, we were all waiting for the Presidential convoy to pass.)

Judy and I travelled overnight by coach from Nakuru in Kenya to Kampala in Uganda arriving on Monday morning, 20th January 2025. On arrival, we met with Rev Martin Ssempa, a staunch opponent of the homosexual agenda for many years. We watched the Trump inauguration together.

On Tuesday lunchtime we welcomed our Burundi Christian Voice co-ordinator, Héroïne, to Kampala, to observe events. We had a meeting with Christian leaders arranged for the next day by this point, and a TV interview, but no meetings with MPs.

Then, in the late afternoon, all the doors opened in perfect sequence, as they were always going to, by God’s grace. We just need faith in these situations.

Church Meeting

Poster for the Meeting at Gospel Revealed Ministry on 22nd Jan 2025

So it was that on Wednesday morning I was able to share with young Christian leaders at Gospel Revealed Ministry at the invitation of Rev Steve Lipsey and DJ Victor.

I was enabled to explain how the spiritual battle in Uganda has shifted with the enactment of the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023. The antichrist, Western-funded NGOs have moved their attention to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (like our RSE, but even worse).

Parents, just the same as in the UK, need to find out what their children are being taught, because NGOs like Plan International are ready to foist their CSE teaching materials onto schools and local teachers, like Greeks bearing gifts.

UK’s FCDO is funding evil

WATCH THE INTRO CLIP

I was also able to share that our very own UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has instituted a £40million programme to promote homosexuality throughout the developing world. That is on top of the money pouring in from other Western governments and ungodly foundations (Open Society, Ford Foundation, Sigrid Rausing Trust, Bill & Melinda Gates and too many others to mention).

Also operating across Uganda is Marie Stopes International (MSI). MSI are known to perform illegal abortions in their 14 Ugandan centres. And on their website, who do they say is subidising their abortions? Step forward the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFP) and the FCDO.

So there is much for Ugandans to do in forming a locally-based, locally-funded Christian Voice affiliate, identifying Satan’s spiritual strongholds, praying against their activities, keeping a watch on the schools where their children are taught, and praying for their leaders to be able, humble men who love truth and hate bribery and corruption.

Meetings with MPs

In the afternoon, we were whisked across Kampala to the Parliament of Uganda. We met with Hon Elijah Okupa MP, who graciously introduced us to some of his colleagues.

We were able to explain the depth of the battle they are still engaged in to ensure the young people of Uganda are not corrupted, and to pray for the Honourable Members and encourage them to stand for the truth of God’s word.

Next, Héroïne, Judy and I were all taken to the public gallery of the Chamber, where we were recognised by name by the Deputy Speaker of the Ugandan Parliament and applauded by honourable members. We each stood and bowed in response. How cool is that?

By your support, you enabled and participated in all of that.

Meeting with David Bahati

To cap an extraordinary day, we received an invitation to meet the Hon David Bahati MP, Minister of Trade, Industry and Cooperatives (Industry).

Hon David is well-known to Western LGBT activists as the man who brought in the first Anti-Homosexuality Bill in 2009. The courts ruled it unconstitutional but Mr Bahati persevered and a version of the Bill was finally enacted by President Yoweri Museveni on 26th May 2023.

As a result of his efforts, David Bahati was vilified by the US under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and by the UK, Canada and the EU. He was disinvited to the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C in 2010, and banned by the UK Government. He really is a tough, humble man of God, raised up for such a time as this. It was a privilege to be able to pray with him and for him. Once again, your prayers and support enabled that.

TV Interview

On Thursday morning, I was invited by Pastor Tonny Muhumuza on Freedom TV for an hour. The subject of homosexuality came up again, with a young man texting in to ask if I could pray for him to be released from same-sex desires. Watch on YouTube:

The extent of our own national depravity may be gauged by current proposals to make it illegal to do just that in the UK. Also that we are now so busy arguing about trans ideology that even Christians in the UK seem to have forgotten that God made us male and female with marriage as his first social institution, that he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for the rebellion of institutionalised sodomy and that the UK now has the same satanic ideology and our leaders need to repent and honour the King of kings.

A young woman was also in contact, to testify that she had been offered money by a no-doubt Western-funded homosexual group to become a lesbian. Once more, my prayer was that she would find strength in the Lord to resist that temptation, with the Psalm 1 assurance that the Lord would bless her obedience many times over.

Kenya Christian Voice Conference

Passengers reporting for the Kenya/Uganda coach. — Passengers reporting for the Uganda to Kenya coach in Kampala.

That same evening (Thursday 23rd) found us back on the bus bound for Kisumu, Kenya. The immigration process in the border town of Busia at 1am, followed by the range of street food offered by people earning their living, needs to be experienced to be believed! Naturally, my visas, both applied for last minute, had earlier been approved, with God’s speed. Judy, being a Kenyan national, travels throughout East Africa visa-free.

So we are now in a modest but comfortable hotel in the small Kenyan town of Sondu with wonderful views of the Kericho hills soon preparing for tomorrow’s Kenya Christian Voice Conference (with three sessions) and then a Sunday service. I will only get through it in the Lord’s strength.

Please keep praying for us and supporting us, for the conference to be led and blessed by the Lord, and for him to continue to open doors for us next week before I return, God willing, to the UK on 1st February for West Ham Open-Air Prayer!

Government putting assisted dying ahead of social care

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

14 January 2025

The current administration has announced a new commission that it hopes will build a ‘national consensus’ on social-care reform.

While framed as a step toward addressing critical issues, the reality is that its first report won’t arrive until 2028—conveniently close to the next general election. This delay epitomises a longstanding pattern: successive governments have promised reform while consistently kicking the issue down the road. For those relying on social care, these delays mean years of continued under-funding and uncertainty.

The government’s role in this inaction is particularly troubling. Despite its claims to champion the vulnerable, the party has opted for postponement over progress, effectively deferring responsibility to future administrations. This evasion raises questions about its commitment to tackling one of the UK’s most urgent social crises. If the government can’t prioritise care for its elderly and disabled citizens now, what does that say about its values?

Contrasting this sluggish approach with Labour’s push for assisted suicide legislation highlights a disturbing inconsistency. Why is there such urgency in debating life-ending policies while life-sustaining services languish? This discrepancy underscores a troubling set of priorities within government ranks.

The Bible says,
Matthew 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement.

Health and social care: Personal responsibility

The Bible emphasises that health and social care are primarily personal responsibilities. Individuals are encouraged to take proactive steps in maintaining their health and seeking help when needed. For instance, in Luke 8:43, the woman with the issue of blood demonstrates personal initiative by seeking healing from Jesus. This highlights the principle of self-accountability in addressing personal health concerns.

At the same time, the Bible stresses the family’s duty in providing care for its members. In Luke 4:38-40, Peter and his wife care for his sick mother-in-law at home, illustrating that family support is integral to well-being. Similarly, 1 Timothy 5:8 underscores the importance of familial care, stating that neglecting one’s family equates to a denial of faith. This underscores a biblically rooted expectation for families to prioritise care giving responsibilities.

Beyond individual and family obligations, the Bible also calls for a communal approach to social care. Leviticus 19:18b and 25:35-37 instruct communities to support the vulnerable, while Zechariah 7:9-10 and Mark 12:31-33 emphasise love, justice, and kindness toward neighbours. These passages outline a societal duty to ensure care and justice for those in need, highlighting the importance of collective responsibility.

However, the Bible does not explicitly advocate for publicly-funded care systems. Instead, it promotes voluntary acts of generosity and community support driven by love and compassion. This perspective frames healthcare and social care as responsibilities shared by individuals, families, and society, but not necessarily reliant on state-led funding or intervention.

Family and community care: Historical and global lessons

In many cultures today, especially in the developing world, caring for the elderly is a family-centered responsibility, with care homes being rare. This tradition reflects deep cultural and biblical values of honouring and supporting elders within families.

Historically, similar principles shaped European societies during the Middle Ages, where the church often stepped in to care for the vulnerable when families could not. The term “hospital” originates from “hospitality,” exemplified by the Knights Hospitaller, who provided care and shelter during the Crusades.

According to an article by Sarah Munson, faith-based initiatives like Alms Houses, started in York in 936 and offered care for the poor, sick, and elderly- demonstrating community-driven responsibility. These institutions laid the groundwork for modern welfare systems while embodying Christian values of compassion and support.

When Henry VIII sacked the monasteries, he destroyed the social care system of the time. As Sarah points out above (reference her article in yours), the first ‘Poor Law’ had to be brought in under Elizabeth I in 1601, to impose upon the parishes what the monasteries had been doing.

But it’s still within the Church. Even the 19th-century reformers (Shaftsbury, Barnardo) and all the hospital foundations (Tommy’s, Guy’s, St George’s, etc, etc) are still Christian. But then in the 20th Century the UK became secularised.

Should the government be looking after us all?

As we see in Britain, if the State decides to do health care (1948, Nye Bevan, NHS) let alone social care, it will soon run out of money. The UK is at the forefront of nations where the people have been conditioned, wrongly, to think that ‘the government’ should be looking after us all. This attitude gathered force during the Covid.

Care homes (per Sarah) became big business in the 1980s, and were cemented in by the 1990 NHS and Community Care Act.

So now the chickens have come home to roost, and a government which cannot afford social care, even relatives with an eye on the inheritance vanishing before their eyes in care home fees, would rather pressure the infirm and elderly to be put down as if they were a pet being ‘put out of its misery’.

So the UK needs repentance, not just of euthanasia, or ‘Assisted dying’, as in Kim Leadbeater’s ‘Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill’, but of this whole attitude that the State should look after us all, that children and old people are annoying things other people, especially ‘the government’ should look after.

The Ethical Divide

Social care reform poses fewer ethical dilemmas compared to assisted suicide. The overwhelming consensus is that care for the ill, elderly, and disabled should be universally accessible. Disagreements typically revolve around the logistics of funding and allocation rather than whether care itself is necessary. These challenges, while significant, are logistical—not moral.

Assisted suicide, on the other hand, introduces profound ethical concerns. The proposed legislation could fundamentally alter the relationship between doctors and patients, transforming caregivers into potential facilitators of death. This shift raises critical questions about trust and the role of medical professionals in preserving life.

Moreover, the bill’s lack of a conscientious-objection clause for doctors is unprecedented. In countries like Canada, where euthanasia is a leading cause of death, healthcare providers are mandated to participate regardless of personal beliefs. Importing such a framework to the UK risks alienating medical professionals and eroding public confidence in healthcare ethics.

Rushed legislation, poor oversight

The passage of the assisted suicide bill exemplifies governmental haste. After only five hours of parliamentary debate and 16 days for MPs to review one of the longest private members’ bills in history, the legislation raced through its second reading. This rushed process raises concerns about the quality and depth of scrutiny applied to such a transformative law.

Kim Leadbeater, the MP behind the bill, demonstrated limited understanding of its implications during debates. Coupled with a parliamentary committee dominated by proponents of assisted suicide, the bill is being pushed forward with minimal critical evaluation. Such hurried policy-making contrasts sharply with the slow progress on social care, revealing a glaring disparity in government priorities.

This expedited approach to a deeply controversial issue risks long-term consequences. By neglecting to thoroughly examine the ethical and practical ramifications, the government undermines public trust in its legislative process. Meanwhile, critical issues like social care continue to be sidelined.

Assisted suicide over care

The government’s focus on assisted suicide over social care exposes its skewed priorities. While Labour has been vocal about addressing social care, its inaction suggests otherwise. With assisted suicide legislation potentially becoming law by 2027, Labour seems more intent on facilitating death than improving life.

Tory MP Danny Kruger’s characterisation of the legislation as a “national suicide service” may seem hyperbolic, but it reflects legitimate concerns about the bill’s implications. By prioritising euthanasia, the government risks normalising death as a solution to societal failings, including inadequate care systems. This approach sends a bleak message to vulnerable populations: their lives are less valuable than the costs of sustaining them.

This disparity in urgency reveals a government more concerned with avoiding difficult decisions about social care funding than with genuinely addressing the needs of its citizens. The prioritisation of this bill is not just a policy choice—it’s a moral failing.

A self-inflicted crisis

The government’s handling of social care and assisted suicide reflects a broader trend of short-termism and moral ambiguity. By delaying social care reform while rushing through controversial assisted suicide legislation, Labour is creating a crisis of its own making. This approach not only alienates the public but also undermines the government’s credibility as a champion of vulnerable populations.

As belief in government competence erodes, so too does public trust in its ability to prioritise meaningful reforms. The delay in addressing social care reform exacerbates an already dire situation, leaving countless individuals without the support they need. In the meantime, the push for assisted suicide risks creating a society where life is undervalued.

If the government fails to address these issues with the seriousness they demand, it will not only fail those in need but also set a dangerous precedent for future policy-making.

The broader implications

The government’s skewed priorities have far-reaching implications. By sidelining social care reform, it risks deepening inequalities and perpetuating the suffering of those most in need. Meanwhile, the focus on assisted suicide raises troubling questions about society’s values and the role of government in safeguarding them.

This juxtaposition highlights a disturbing reality: the government is more willing to legislate for death than to invest in life. Such an approach not only alienates those it claims to serve but also undermines the moral fabric of society. If leaders cannot prioritise care for their citizens, how can they expect to build a more compassionate and equitable future?

The choice between social care and assisted suicide is not just a policy decision—it’s a reflection of societal values. By prioritising the latter, the government risks sending a message that some lives are not worth sustaining. This is a message that society cannot afford to accept.

Opposing UK-sponsored evil in Africa

Stephen

3 January 2025

The author chatting to pastors in Nairobi, Kenya

I’m flying out to Kenya tonight for a month-long mission. African nations face many challenges. Among them are Western pressures to adopt our leaders’ apparent ‘death-wish’ of immoral social policies coupled with climate obsession.

It was in 2009 I became aware of the pressures Western nations are bringing on developing nations to do what the UK has done and legalise all the things God hates. Prov 14:34b … but sin is a reproach to any people.

African pro-sodomy NGO’s all foreign-funded

I ‘followed the money’ from Western governments and foundations financing local NGOs promoting homosexuality, abortion and sex education.

It transpired there was not a single local NGO in the developing world promoting any of it which was locally funded. Every single one relied on Western money.

The UK’s involvement in this corruption, targeted at youth in particular, shames us all. In February 2024, under the Conservatives, the Foreign Office website (FCDO) carried this boast: ‘The UK government has launched a new 5-year programme worth £40 million to advance the rights of LGBT+ people globally.’ Watch our video:

What you can do

We can all witness to our MPs about this sin of promoting what God hates, bringing further judgment on our nation. And we should do that.

Use this link to the UK Parliament website to email your MP →

But we can do more. On your behalf, in Kenya, Uganda and Burundi this month, I’ll be showing Christians how they can push back against the UK measures, which I know are as deeply unpopular as they are unscriptural.

Support NCCSS / Christian Voice →

By God’s grace, and with your support, I’ll be encouraging our existing Kenya Christian Voice affiliate, building up our Burundi affiliate and spending some time helping to establish a new affiliate in Uganda.

Please pray for doors to open for me to speak to MPs and dignitaries, business people, senior clergy. May the Lord raise up men of prayer and action for this work.

And please sign our petition (if you have not already):

Pro-Life Witness at December 2024 Abortion Conferences

Abortion & Euthanasia

Stephen

4 November 2024

Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare conference being held Friday 6th December 2024 at Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists HQ: 10-18 Union Street, London, SE1 1SZ

Pro-Life Witness at December 2024 Abortion Conferences

We organised pro-life witness events outside two pro-abortion conferences in December 2024.

(1) Christian Voice Outreach at Faculty of Sexual & Reproductive Health Conference, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London, Friday 6th December 2024

(2) Christian Voice Witness at ‘Women’s Health’ Conference, Royal College of Nursing, London: Tuesday 10th December 2024:

What was involved

We prayed the Lord would raise up those who would come out on the streets Friday 6th and Tuesday 10th December 2024 in London to support our outreach to the UK’s leading abortionists. Jobs involved giving out leaflets/tracts (PDF HERE – it’s folded DL – feel free to use it elsewhere – use 160gm card ), holding cameras/phones, witnessing and just being there in support.

The evil of abortion is right in the heart of our medical professions:

Lord revealed abortion conferences!

FRSH Keynote speaker: Dr Helen Munro, Consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, Hywel Dda University Health Board

I was praying, Lord, are there any pro-abortion conferences coming up for us to witness outside in the next few weeks?

So I did a search online, and my prayer was answered dramatically.

Firstly, I found the heavily-pro-abortion Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare, the FRSH, is to hold its annual conference on Friday 6th December 2024. Here’s the FRHR Programme. And here are the speakers.

Secondly, I discovered the Royal College of Nursing are planning an all-day conference centred on abortion the following Tuesday, 10th December. Here’s the RCN Programme. And here are the speakers.

Lord, how do you do that?

Stronghold of Satan

The all-day FRSH event on Friday 6th December 2024 will be held from 8.15 am to 5.30pm at a significant stronghold of Satan, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. The address is 10-18 Union Street, London, SE1 1SZ. It’s not far from Borough Tube and London Bridge Station.

The Bible says:
Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

Here, we believe the evidence of scripture and medicine that a child in the womb shares our common humanity. He, or she, is a person with a right to life.

But not only does the Faculty, which is part of the Royal College, deny the humanity of the child in the womb, they have lost touch with all reality.

They believe that access to ‘sexual and reproductive healthcare’ (those weasel words mean abortion) is a fundamental right. Not ‘should be’, ‘IS’ a fundamental right.

No international ‘right’ to abortion

Judy Green hands out Christian Voice pro-life leaflets to delegates leaving the UNFPA Summit in Nairobi in November 2019.

So they believe wrong, because access to abortion, even if it is euphonised into ‘reproductive healthcare’, is in no international human rights document, despite UN forces and the godless West pushing for it.

But to claim there IS such a right is to put an ‘R’ after their ‘SRH’ to make it SRHR, the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights promoted all over the developing world by bodies such as Marie Stopes International, Planned Parenthood, FSRH, the United Kingdom government and of course the United Nations Fund for Population Activities.

Kenya Christian Voice opposed the UNFPA Summit in Nairobi in November twenty-nineteen with prayer and with leafleting of those going in.

Do the little things that only we can do

Ambassadors of eleven nations held a press conference to condemn the ICPD25 Nairobi Summit and UNFPA

There was a massive spiritual dimension to what we did. We were noticed by the abortionists and the Lord moved in power. We did the little things that only we could do, and he did what only he can do, that is, work miracles. Not the least was the United States bringing nations together to oppose the UNFPA.

So here is your opportunity to show that here in the UK we can stand against evil as well, on Friday 6th and Tuesday 10th December 2024.

There are now buffer zones preventing pro-life witness around every abortion facility in the United Kingdom. England & Wales caught up with Scotland and Northern Ireland on Halloween, 31st October 2024.

But the law does not apply around the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Nor does it prevent us witnessing at the Royal College of Nursing, the RCN, which see below.

Dig another well!

In the Bible, we read that as soon as Isaac dug a well, the Philistines took it off him. That happened twice. But then we read, in Genesis chapter twenty-six and verse twenty-two:

Gen 26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

The Philistines of Parliament have taken our well of witness at the abortion centres off us.

So, following Isaac’s pragmatism, we’ll simply dig another one at the RCOG, and another at the RCN. We can dig more in town centres, don’t forget, more abortions are now at home through pills-by-post than at the abortion premises, and the Lord will bless them, make room for us, and our witness will be fruitful.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Come and be blessed!

It will be an early start that Friday, 8 AM, and 9 AM on Tuesday, but if you’ve never done any street witness before, come and have fun. Sorry, come and be blessed. Bring your friends. Give out some leaflets. Engage with the abortionists.

Ask them what species of animal they were when they were growing in their mother’s womb. And the weekend gets even better.

On Tuesday 10th December, the Royal College of Nursing will hold a Women’s Health Conference from 9:30am to 4:10pm at their posh HQ, 20 Cavendish Square, London, W1G 0RN, between Bond Street and Oxford Circus.

The Keynote Speaker is nurse Simphiwe Sesane (pronounced Simp-Heeway SessAh-nay), who seems to be some kind of abortion celebrity. She is even on the FSRH committee pushing abortion worldwide.

Worked for Marie Stopes

The South African founded ‘Black Nurses and Midwives UK’, but she previously worked for twelve years for MSI, that’s Marie Stopes International. Its founder, the racist and eugenicist Marie Stopes, hated the poor and wanted mixed-race babies sterilized at birth to combat ‘racial darkness’.

Simphiwe, we read, ‘prides herself with the ability to empower individuals with choice.’ She should be ashamed of herself on so many levels.

Prov 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Prov 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

So we need your prayer support, your attendance, if you can, and your financial support. Even Christian workers have to pay train fares and staff wages!

PRAY for the Lord to raise up those who will come and join us on Friday 6th and Tuesday 10th December. Also pray for success. Pray for enabling finance.

MPs to vote on ‘dangerous’ suicide bill

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

4 October 2024

Stop Press ‘Slippery Slope’: The Telegraph reports the Netherlands Parliament is to consider extending their own ‘assisted dying’ legislation to healthy over-75’s who just ‘choose to die’. (14th November 2024)

Article

The UK parliament is considering a ‘dangerous and ideological’ assisted suicide bill to give ‘terminally ill’ individuals in England and Wales the right to end their lives this month.

Labour MP Kim Leadbeater introduced her ‘Assisted Dying Bill’ on Wednesday 16th October 2024. MPs will debate it at Second Reading on Friday 29th November.

Use this link to the UK Parliament website to email your
MP to witness and ask him or her to oppose the bill. →

Sir Keir Starmer is behind it

Mrs Leadbeater topped the Private Members’ bills ballot. Prime Minister Keir Starmer previously pledged to Prime Minister Keir Starmer previously pledged to allow MPs a free vote on the matter. Behind the scenes, it will be he who has suggested she choose this bill.

Since entering parliament in 2019, Kim Leadbeater, sister to the murdered Jo Cox, has shown scant respect for human life. She has voted for DIY abortions, for buffer zones, and against prayer.

Mrs Leadbeater claims the ‘time is right for a renewed discussion’ on assisted dying. She flatly denies, according to Sky News, that in counties which have introduced such a law, the criteria have subsequently expanded down a ‘slippery slope’. We refute this below. She should know such a claim is false.

God determines the end of life

The push comes after a massive intake of new MPs expected to agree with her. MPs rejected similar legislation in 2015. But in any case, who are MPs to decide when to end a life God has given?

The Bible says,
Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

The bill will have to be approved by MPs and peers before it becomes law. Dr Gordon Macdonald, chief executive of Care Not Killing, is urging the government ‘to focus on fixing our broken palliative care system’ rather than ‘discussing again this dangerous and ideological policy’.

‘Heartless utilitarianism’

When a society loses respect for God, it loses regard for human life. Money becomes more important, either relatives chasing an early inheritance or public authorities looking to save expenditure. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has criticised a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that suggests assisted suicide could save Canada’s healthcare system up to $136.8 million annually.

The study estimated that assisted suicide may forgo costly, resource-intensive medical care, reducing costs by bypassing the expensive final months of a terminally ill patient’s life. Using data from Belgium and the Netherlands, where assisted suicide has been legal for over 20 years, the report suggested cost savings could be ‘reinvested’ into other areas of healthcare. SPUC condemned the findings as ‘heartless utilitarianism’ and rejected the notion.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

‘Pressured to opt for death’

Daniel Frampton, SPUC’s editorial officer, said: ‘This chilling report highlights the rise of a cold, utilitarian approach in Western healthcare systems, where patients are seen as a financial burden.

Governments struggling with budgets may be tempted to embrace assisted suicide as a cost-saving strategy. Patients could feel pressured to opt for death, or worse, be left without other viable choices.”

As the UK debates the legalisation of assisted suicide, Frampton urged both politicians and the public to learn from Canada’s experience and oppose this alarming shift towards viewing death as a solution to the challenges in healthcare.

Return to the UK’s Christian Constitution →

Canada’s slippery slope

Canada’s assisted dying laws, originally introduced in 2016, were designed to offer ‘a compassionate option’ for terminally ill patients experiencing unbearable suffering. The legislation initially applied to those whose death was reasonably foreseeable, but over time, the boundaries of the law have expanded. Eligibility is now being considered for individuals with chronic pain or mental health issues.

Canada’s history with assisted dying began in the 1990s, when amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient Sue Rodriguez challenged the country’s criminal prohibition on assisted suicide. Despite her high-profile fight, the Supreme Court ruled against her in 1993, leaving the ban in place. That decision was overturned decades later in the landmark Carter v. Canada case. In 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that ‘denying assisted dying violated Canadians’ rights, forcing the government to act’.

From prohibition to legalisation

A year later, the government introduced Bill C-14, legalising medical assistance in dying (MAiD) under strict conditions. At the time, only adults with a ‘reasonably foreseeable’ death were eligible, seemingly ensuring the law would only apply to the terminally ill. However, that scope was quickly widened. In 2021, the passage of Bill C-7 removed the ‘foreseeable death’ requirement, opening MAiD to people suffering from intolerable pain or disabilities, even if they were not terminally ill. While proponents hailed the move as a victory for patient autonomy, pro-life campaigners warned it dangerously blurred the line between compassionate care and state-sanctioned death.

This criticism has only intensified with the scheduled 2024 expansion, which will allow those with mental illness as their sole medical condition to seek MAiD. Disability advocates, mental health experts, and human rights groups have raised the alarm, fearing vulnerable individuals may be coerced or driven to seek death due to inadequate support services.

The Netherlands

In April 2002 the Dutch Euthanasia Act came into force. This Act, officially named the Termination of Life on Request and Assisted Suicide (Review Procedures) Act, is the result of a development that started in 1973, when the first court case in the Netherlands regarding euthanasia was decided. The Netherlands’ assisted dying law, started as a controlled process but has now extended to include cases involving mental health disorders, dementia, and even non-medical reasons.

One of the most controversial developments is the Groningen Protocol , which allows the euthanasia of terminally ill infants under certain conditions.

Perhaps most concerning is the push to extend euthanasia to elderly individuals who feel they have ‘completed life’ but do not suffer from any terminal illness. This change reflects a societal shift toward using assisted dying as a normalised option for non-medical cases, particularly for vulnerable groups who may feel pressured to choose death.

The experience of Oregon

The Assisted Suicide (Scotland) Bill draws from Oregon’s ‘Death with Dignity Act’ (DWDA). The Act was introduced in 1997 to allow terminally ill patients with less than six months to have the option of assisted suicide. While it began with strict safeguards, over time,vulnerable people, including those with mental health challenges or disabilities, were encouraged to consider ending their lives prematurely. Oregon’s experience shows a steady rise in ‘assisted deaths’, with a 556% increase since the law’s inception, signalling a normalisation over time. Furthermore, Oregon has faced troubling cases where terminal patients were denied life-saving treatments but offered assisted suicide, raising ethical concerns about healthcare priorities.

Oregon’s original safeguards have been stretched, with some patients living years after being diagnosed, questioning the accuracy of medical predictions. The criteria for terminal illness have also been expanded, with non-terminal conditions now qualifying for assisted death. The UK can bring in a measure with no end of ‘safeguards’ but the boundaries of the law will in short time extend, leading to misuse.

MPs need wisdom from on high

MPs, even the godless, need wisdom, which only comes from on high. We must pray for them and witness to them. The experiences of other jurisdictions show how initial limits on assisted dying inevitably broaden, increasing the risk of vulnerable individuals being pressured into making life-ending decisions to benefit others. Of course there is a spiritual dimension, b ut even in the ‘natural’, the UK would be better off focussing on improving palliative care rather than opening the door to assisted suicide, which must lead to consequences which those pushing for the measure will say they never intended.

Read and pray

READ: Exod 20:13; Lev 19:35; Deut 32:39; 2Sam 1:14-15; Psa 37:9-10; Prov 21:13; Eccl 8:8; Isa 28:9; Jer 21:14; Ezek 18:20; Matt 22:39; Rom 5:3-5; 1 Cor 3:16-17; Eph 5:29; Col 3:12; Titus 2:6-8.

UK-wide abortion ‘buffer zones’

Abortion & Euthanasia

Makeda

20 September 2024

Buffer Zone Challenge Day 2: Twickenham — Buffer Zone Challenge February 2023 Day 2: Stephen preaching in Twickenham outside BPAS

The entire UK establishment is now protecting commercial businesses making money from abortion, even though the Bible says:

Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

So-called ‘Buffer Zones’ or ‘Safe Access Zones’ will be introduced around abortion premises in England and Wales starting on 31 October, the Home Office has announced. Those in Scotland and Northern Ireland are already in place.

The zones will make it illegal to ‘influence’ people’s decisions within a ‘safe access zone’. These zones, which will prohibit protests, will cover a 150-metre radius around places providing abortion in England and Wales, 200 metres in Scotland and between 100 and 250 metres in Northern Ireland.

(It is worth saying that ”safe’ as in ‘safe access zone’ does not mean ‘safe’ as we normally understand it, i.e., safe from attacks or trip hazards. It means ‘safe’ from hearing uncomfortable or inconvenient views. It also means making commercial operations safe from possible loss of income.)

What can you do where?

The Draft Guidance for England & Wales was published as a consultation in December 2023 and attempted to balance competing rights. (Draft Government Guidance: England & Wales) It was condemned by pro-aborts. The new Health Secretary, Wes Streeting MP, does not appear yet to have published the final version. The DOH page still says they are ‘analysing your feedback’. Will it be ‘illegal’ in our law to distribute pro-life leaflets or speak to individuals entering or working at such premises, or even to pray in silence? Who knows?

Those found guilty of violating the law could face unlimited fines. The list of affected premises in England and Wales is downloaded here (on tabs T1 & T2 of an excel-type spreadsheet).

It very much appears as if the Scottish government are leaving interpretation up to the police and the courts as are their Northern Ireland counterparts. So no-one knows whether they can exercise historic Christian freedom or not.

Here is the list for Scotland. The eight in Northern Ireland are shown on maps here.

The Bible says:
Prov 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, …

The Public Order Act 2023

Under the law, section(9) of the Public Order Act 2023 states:

(1) It is an offence for a person who is within a safe access zone to do an act with the intent of, or reckless as to whether it has the effect of—
(a) influencing any person’s decision to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services at an abortion clinic,
(b) obstructing or impeding any person accessing, providing, or facilitating the provision of abortion services at an abortion clinic, or
(c) causing harassment, alarm or distress to any person in connection with a decision to access, provide, or facilitate the provision of abortion services at an abortion clinic,where the person mentioned in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) is within the safe access zone for the abortion clinic.

The Bible says,
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

Fundamental human right for murder?

‘Safeguarding’ Minister Jess Phillips MP claimed that the importance of the law is give women ‘fundamental right to access abortion services without fear of harassment or intimidation’.

‘We will not sit back and tolerate harassment, abuse and intimidation as people exercise their legal right to healthcare.’

But the word ‘healthcare’ is doing much heavy lifting there, considering an abortion in reality takes the life of a vulnerable human soul.

The Bible says,
Psalm 139:13-16 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb…I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well…My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth…Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

The England & Wales law was originally approved by Parliament in May 2023, but the government announced it would hold a consultation on guidance before implementing the zones.

According to the Home Office, the new regulations will be enforced from the end of October 2024.

Support Christian Voice →

What does ‘influence’ mean?

Under the law, as seen in Section 9:(1) of the Public Order Act 2023, any action that deliberately or recklessly ‘influences’ someone’s decision to access abortion services will face unlimited fines. But how will the courts interpret ‘influencing’ in this context?

It is also worthy to note that there is no list of banned words as in the 5 Local Authority Censorship Zones in England. This makes the term ‘influencing’ vague. Would it include general preaching against sin?

In September 2023, Northern Ireland enacted the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Act (Northern Ireland) Act 2023.

It received Royal Assent on 6 February 2023. Under this law, pro- life protests and other behaviours are prohibited within areas described as ‘Safe Access Zone’ in accordance with Section 11(1) of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 (“the Act”), as referenced in this judgement on Clause 5(2)(a) of the Bill;

‘It is an offence for D to do an act in a safe access zone with the intent of, or reckless as to whether it has the effect of –
(a) influencing a protected person, whether directly or indirectly,
(b) preventing or impeding access by a protected person, or
(c) causing harassment, alarm or distress to a protected person,
in connection with the protected person attending protected premises for a purpose mentioned in section 3.’

Scotland follows suit

Meanwhile, Scotland’s ‘Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Bill’ which includes offence of influencing, preventing access or causing harassment etc, in an area visible or audible from safe access zone came into force in September 2024.

Under the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Act 2024;

(1) A person who is in a safe access zone for protected premises commits an offence if the person does an act with the intention of, or is reckless as to whether the act has the effect of—
(a) influencing the decision of another person to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services at the protected premises,
(b) preventing or impeding another person from accessing, providing or facilitating the provision of abortion services at the protected premises, or
(c) causing harassment, alarm or distress to another person in connection with the other person’s decision to access, provide or facilitate the provision of abortion services at the protected premises,where in each case the other person is in the safe access zone for the purpose of accessing, providing or facilitating the provision of abortion services at the protected premises.

‘Unnecessary and disproportionate’

Rt Rev. John Sherrington - Catholic Bishops' Conference — Rt Rev. John Sherrington – Catholic Bishops’ Conference

Bishop John Sherrington, Lead Bishop for Life Issues for the Roman Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, has said buffer zone legislation discriminates against people of faith.

‘The “safe access zone” law is “unnecessary and disproportionate,” he said. He emphasised that existing laws already protect women from harassment, and the new law could unfairly target people of faith, restricting their right to express religious beliefs through prayer and outreach.

Bishop Sherrington added, ‘Religious freedom is the foundational freedom of any free and democratic society,’ and expressed concern over the lack of clarity regarding the practice of private prayer within these zones.

In the past it has been Catholics, mainly women, who have maintained vigils at abortion premises.

Buffer zone trial

In February 2024, the Christian Voice National Director was convicted in Uxbridge Magistrates Court of breaching a Public Spaces Protection Order outside Marie Stopes in Ealing in 2023.

Stephen Green held a sign bearing Psalm 139:13 ‘For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.’

The preacher has appealed against his conviction and will face a new trial in Isleworth Crown Court TW7 5LG on 29 and 30th October. His trial will conclude the day before the new England & Wales law takes effect.

The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill has been introduced to the Scottish Parliament, sparking widespread debate.

The proposed legislation which is at stage one, aims to allow terminally ‘ill adults’ in Scotland, who are eligible, to lawfully request, and be provided with, assistance by health professionals to end their own life.

Proponents argue that the bill offers a compassionate choice for those suffering unbearably, while pro-life campaigners say murder is murder. Adding that the bill if passed can potentially raise ethical concerns and fear potential abuses.

Meanwhile, Scottish consultation has set up a survey to further decide on the bill.

This an opportunity to stand for life by making it clear that you oppose assisted suicide and euthanasia.

The Bible says,
Leviticus 24:17 And he that killeth any man shall surely be put to death.

What is assisted suicide?

Assisted suicide is intentionally helping another person to end their life. It can involve people who are not terminally ill.

Providing someone with a lethal dose of sedatives or helping them go to Switzerland (where assisted suicide is legal) could both be considered assisted suicide.

But who has given man the power to end another man’s life?

Matthew 5:21-22 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement.

What is euthanasia?

Euthanasia is the act of deliberately ending a person’s life, to relieve suffering in which a lethal drug is administered by a physician.

It is legal in fewer places than assisted dying or assisted suicide and patients do not necessarily have to be terminally ill, external.

There are two types: voluntary euthanasia, external, where a patient has given consent, and non-voluntary, external, where they have not been able to, for example if they are in a coma.

Attempts to legalise murder?

Across the UK, the laws prohibits individuals from seeking medical assistance to end their lives.

In particular, euthanasia is illegal in England and classified as manslaughter or murder, carrying a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

The Suicide Act of 1961 further criminalises the act of encouraging or assisting a suicide in England and Wales, with offenders facing up to 14 years in prison.

Comparable laws are in place in Northern Ireland.

Although Scotland does not have a specific law against assisting suicide, aiding someone in dying could result in charges of culpable homicide. But the the Bible is crystal clear about murder.

Countries considering changes

Scotland, Jersey, and the Isle of Man are currently considering changes to their laws to allow terminally ill individuals to end their lives.

Campaigner Dame Esther Rantzen is urging Westminster MPs to also vote on assisted dying, claiming that a report found ‘some evidence of improved end-of-life care in regions where it is permitted’.

Several countries have already legalised various forms of assisted suicide, or euthanasia, each with distinct definitions and regulations.

Euthanasia is legal in five countries in Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and more recently Germany and Spain. In the Netherlands, mental illness can result in euthanasia. In Oregon, US, non-terminal illness, such as arthritis and anorexia are used as reasons. Canada, too is well down the ‘slippery slope’

Scots protect abortion as churches close

Makeda

25 June 2024

100 Scottish churches are up for sale.

Meanwhile, the Scottish Parliament is protecting abortionists with ‘buffer zones’.

While the Telegraph reports: ‘Nearly 70pc of Christians in Scotland have experienced prejudice’.

Sign our Petition against Buffer Zones to mark your opposition and to keep in touch:

Centuries of history

The Church of Scotland is parting with centuries of history, selling off places of worship for what is described as a drastic ‘decline in both worshippers and ministers.’

Churches, plots of land and former council houses, some dating back to the 1700s, have been listed for sale at prices ranging from £35,000 in what the Church say is a ‘painful’ move.

The institution said financial pressures forced it to make ‘difficult’ decisions on its future, adding it now owns ‘far more [churches] than is required’.

Support Christian Voice →

Buildings ‘must not hinder progress’

A Church of Scotland spokesman said: ‘We understand fully the wide range of emotions – anger, guilt, sorrow and relief that the burden of trying to keep a place of worship open with few people and little, if any contribution from other community sources, has finally been lifted.

‘The Church owns thousands of properties, far more than required to achieve our primary mission of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

‘It is going through a transformation and it is essential that the Church is properly equipped to be fit for purpose in the 21st century. Although buildings are cherished, they must not hinder progress.’

Progress or decline?

The BBC reports on the Kirk’s decline: ‘According to 2021 numbers, the church has 283,600 members – down from a peak of 1.3 million in the late 1950s.

About 60,000 worship in person on a Sunday – down from 88,000 pre-Covid. About 45,000 people now worship online and 8,275 in “other ways”.

Each church averages just one wedding and one baptism per year – about 1,200 in total. There were 50,000 per year in the late 1950s.

There were 430 professions of faith in 2021 (sometimes referred to as confirmation) compared with 40,000 at the peak of new members in the 1930s. The average age of those attending church is 62.

An Imam from Florida, Muhammad Musri, has spoken gleefully of a decline in Christian worship and announced a Muslim campaign to buy churches and convert them into mosques. ‘(We) turn their churches into mosques, and their schools into Islamic schools, and bring the light of Islam to here,’ he said in a recent video on Memri TV. That could easily become the fate of some of the churches for sale in Scotland.

‘Buffer zones’ to stifle free speech

The author preaching outside British Pregnancy Advisory Services (BPAS) abortion facility in Twickenham on 7th February 2023

At the same time, MSPs in the Scottish Parliament have passed the most extreme censorship zones near abortion clinics in what pro-life campaigners say is to stifle free speech.

The legislation would prevent any protests or vigils taking place within 200m (656ft) of 30 clinics offering abortion services.

The Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) (Scotland) Bill, tabled by Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay, passed by 123 votes to one. Voting record HERE.

Voting for the Bill and for the commercial enterprises making money from death were 61 SNP MSP’s, 28 Conservatives (3 did not vote at all: Jeremy Balfour, Murdo Fraser and Stephen Kerr), all 22 Labour, all 7 Greens, all 4 Liberal Democrats and the Alba Party’s Ash Regan. Only John Mason (SNP) voted against.

It appears the few pro-life MSPs said the bill could infringe on freedom of expression, religion and assembly. They wanted exclusions for silent prayer. The Bill’s sponsor acknowledged the concerns, only to dismiss them.

The Bible says,
Prov 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

Access to healthcare or murder?

In her speech, Gillian Mackay came out with all the usual pro-abortion spin. She said everyone ‘should be able to access healthcare with dignity and free of harassment’.

She said: ‘For far too long women and health care staff have been forced to run a gauntlet of intimidation, judgment and fear in order to access or deliver treatment at what can often be the most emotional of times.

No MSP asked, if this is mere ‘healthcare’, why is it so ‘emotional’? What other healthcare leaves women feeling emotional and filled with remorse?

She said: ‘No protester and no group should be allowed to tell women what they are or are not allowed to do with their body. This should be their choice, their privacy, and their decision.’

No MSP asked: ‘Since when was a baby growing in the womb part of that woman’s body?’ Crucially, not one MSP asked Gillian Mackay: ‘What species were you when you were growing in your mother’s womb?’

The psalmist says that was ‘Me’ in there, not part of his mother:
Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.

‘Peaceful pro-life people’ become criminals

A spokeswoman for Care for Scotland said: ‘The police are already empowered to deal with any incidents of abuse or harassment that occur under existing, well-balanced laws.

‘Police data shows that pro-life activities do not involve the ‘harassment’ some campaigners claim is taking place. Some have wrongly sought to other and problematise peaceful pro-life people who offer support to women.

Which way Britain?

The United Kingdom now ranks among the least religious nations in the world.

Brits are now among the least likely internationally to believe in God, following a long-term decline in belief since the 1980s, according to a new study.

The research, led by the Policy Institute at King’s College London, also finds that the share of the population who say God is not important in their life is at a record high, having doubled compared with four decades ago.

Belief in heaven has decreased over the same period, but belief in life after death and hell has remained stable, with younger generations more inclined to believe in both – despite being less religious generally.

The Bible says,
Matthew 24:10-12 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many…And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

The British built the first church in Nigeria and built another right on top of the slave market in Zanzibar. We spread Christianity across our former colonies. Now we are abandoning the faith and advancing the causes of abortion and sodomy at home and abroad instead. Our love of truth and righteousness, indeed of the Gospel itself, has grown cold. How far we have fallen.

Health Secretary to back legalisation of abortion

Makeda

9 March 2024

The Health Secretary has expressed support for making abortion legal, as Members of Parliament are set to vote on changing the law for the first time in 30 years.

Victoria Atkins, in an interview with the Telegraph, indicated that she would back decriminalising abortion and creating buffer zones around abortion clinics.

MPs will vote on two changes to abortion laws this month. One would make abortion legal after 24 weeks, and the other would lower the time limit to 22 weeks.

Diana Johnson, a Labour MP, wants to change the law so women won’t be punished for having an abortion after 24 weeks. Her proposal has support from MPs of different parties.

The Bible says,
Deut 27:25 Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

“My voting record speaks for itself”

Victoria Atkins told the Telegraph: ‘I’m very conscious as Health Secretary that whatever the House decides if there is a vote, my department will be the one to either maintain the status quo or to deliver change.

‘And so at this stage, I’m not going to say anything publicly because I just want to see how the debate develops. But my voting record speaks for itself.’

Ministers have faced calls to repeal sections of a 19th-century law in England and Wales after abortion was decriminalised in Northern Ireland.

Birth rates hitting record lows across the pro-abortion West

Abortion advocates are actively pushing to secure the legal “right” to kill babies in the womb extending up to nine months. In the United States, Joe Biden is prioritising the issue of feticide in the 2024 presidential campaign, and Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a nationwide “abortion tour” to rally voters.

The U.K. is witnessing efforts to completely decriminalise abortion, while in France, the Senate recently voted to enshrine abortion in the country’s constitution.

This development is noteworthy in the context of an ongoing series of headlines highlighting a widespread concern in the declining birth rates. Recent reports include Canada experiencing its lowest fertility rate in recorded history, Spain seeing a 25 percent drop in birth rates over the past decade, and the United States witnessing a continued decline in births, with nearly half of women under 45 being childless.

The United Kingdom,is also grappling with a record-low birthrate.

Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Galations 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace.

A letter to MPs

Recently, Christian Voice National Director, Stephen Green, wrote to 50 MPs on the issue of abortion.

He wrote: ‘Our pro-life MPs are especially in our prayers for wisdom, and in these days, for safety.
You may not know, but earlier this month I was convicted for standing with a Bible verse (Psalm 139:13) in the Ealing Buffer Zone a year ago and am now appealing to the Crown Court. In the House of Commons, I am aware there will be amendments, both pro-life and pro-abortion, tabled to the Criminal Justice Bill at its Report Stage presently.

It appears to me that what is too often overlooked in debates on abortion is the question of what exactly is that in the womb of a woman presenting for an elective abortion. The humanity of the child in the womb, so beautifully expressed by the psalmist in my Ealing Bible verse, is, I believe, the pro-abortion weak spot.

Therefore we shall be praying that someone will stand to challenge each MP proposing decriminalisation to tell the House what precisely is it in a woman’s womb. A pregnant woman used to be described as ‘with child’. So if that is not a human being, can they kindly tell the House what it is?

Gaslighting the population

Stephen

6 March 2024

(Video Transcript:) I was going to spare you any comment on the Scarlet Blake / Fangze Wang affair, which is on our website anyway, but it’s still drawing comment, with the BBC’s Samira Ahmed agonising about it on Newswatch last Saturday morning (2nd March 2024).

Viewers have written, or emailed, in complaining about BBC reporters referring to this psychopathic bloke as a ‘woman’, not even prefixing with ‘Trans’. All the mainstream media did the same.

But an earlier piece on Saturday’s BBC news, where presenter Naga Munchetty interviewed MP Tobias Ellwood about threats to MPs without either of them once telling viewers where the threats were actually coming from, tipped the balance.

Questioning Reality

The media / political complex are manipulating us into doubting our own sanity, into questioning reality, into believing their absurdities. Well, you’ll only get the truth here, so let me show you how it works with half-a-dozen examples. Then we’ll see what to do about it.

We’ll start with Covid, where they pretended we were all equally at risk, that bacterial handwash and crude masks could stop an air-borne virus, that experimental gene-therapies were safe, fully-tested good honest vaccines. The Bible tells us there can be such people as ‘physicians of no value’. (Find all our Bible references below.) See: ‘Lockdown a failed experiment’

Media and government propaganda nudged us into standing 2 metres apart and staying indoors so effectively that even today, some of us would welcome restrictions back.

Climate, Abortion and War

They are now doing it over climate hysteria, pretending there is an emergency which calls for you to travel less, eat less meat, turn the heating down and put on a jumper, while the elite waste your money like water on ill-conceived idiocies, impoverish the people and jet around the world. Read: Population Not Being Told the True Cost of Net Zero. And read: Electric Cars Release More Toxic Emissions Than Petrol Cars.

Despite Jesus ‘upholding all things by the word of his power’ you’ll even find Christians agreeing with them. And as for Bristol Cathedral!

Reject Net Zero policies →

They do it on abortion. Not even pro-life MPs want to rock the boat by asking their pro-abortion colleagues what exactly is that in the womb? Is that a human being? Was the psalmist right to say ‘thou hast covered ME in my mother’s womb’ or not?

Stop Abortion Buffer Zones →

They are doing it over Russia / Ukraine, repeating that the Russians and ‘Putin’ are totally evil while Ukraine, Mr Zelensky, NATO, the US and the EU are as pure as the driven snow, so Mr Sunak can quietly send billions of pounds of your money to fight his proxy war and enrich his pals in the arms firms. People trot out lines they have learnt from the BBC forgetting the psalmist said: ‘I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.’

End the Russia/Ukraine War →

Islam, Islamophobia and ‘Democracy’

They are doing it, as I saw on Saturday morning (2nd March 2024), over Islam, much preferring to talk about Lee Anderson’s supposed ‘Islamophobia’ than admit the threats to MPs are coming from pro-Hamas Muslims and their leftist friends, from Islamists, in other words.

They pretend there is nothing wrong with mass Muslim migration and that they can replace our Christian constitution with multiculturalism.

You have Rishi Sunak claiming the UK is ‘the world’s most successful … multi-faith democracy’. Well did the prophet say: ‘truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth.’

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

RSE and Transgenderism

They let the education establishment get away with doing it over RSE, pretending they can show what amounts to pornography to children, lying that it is ‘age-appropriate’.

Stop the Child Sexual Abuse of
Relationships and Sex Education →

They’re also gaslighting YOUR children into believing it’s just fine to be promiscuous or homosexual and perfectly normal for a girl to decide she is actually a boy and be given life-changing drugs and mutilatory surgery, despite the Lord Jesus saying ‘They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.’

Which leads us finally to Fangze Wang, a deranged man who prefers to be called Scarlet Blake and pretend he is a woman, with Police, CPS, the judge and journalists colluding in his self-deception, hoping YOU won’t notice the one THEY are calling a woman is really a man. The Lord Jesus himself said God created us male and female, not ourselves.

Stop Transgenderism Now! →

What to do about it?

It’s gaslighting built on absurdity. So what to do about it? Firstly, make sure YOU are rooted in the truth of both his word and current events. We’ll help you by looking behind the scenes and telling it as it is both here (our Youtube channel) and on our website so you can pray informed prayers.

Pray the Lord will raise up God-fearing men, change the hearts of the king’s ministers or replace them with men after his own heart. Pray for them to be what the Bible calls ‘able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness.’ Let’s be fully aware a general election is coming, and of what the opinion polls say, but let us never forget God does miracles. We’ll be saying, ‘this is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes.’

Bible in chains after Buffer Zone verdict

Stephen

2 February 2024

Preacher found guilty for holding Bible verse sign in buffer zone.

Stephen Green will appeal his conviction for holding Psalm 139 sign.

Sign our Petition against Buffer Zones →

Found guilty

Preacher and Christian campaigner Stephen Green was found guilty on 1st February 2024 of breaching a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) by holding a sign with a Bible verse near an abortion facility in Ealing on 6th February 2023.

Mr Green, National Director of prayer and action group Christian Voice, was found guilty of an offence following his display of a verse from the psalms within the Mattock Lane PSBO zone in Ealing, west London. The verse read:

Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.
(‘Reins’ is an old expression for ‘kidneys’ or ‘insides’).

Conditional Discharge

Stephen gave evidence that he was protesting against buffer zones that ban the free proclamation of the Bible rather than abortion itself. However, District Judge Kathryn Verghis, sitting in Uxbridge Magistrates Court, ruled that by holding the sign he was guilty of protesting by ‘engaging in an act of approval/disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services’.

Judge Verghis said that although the PSPO curtailed his human rights, it was necessary and proportionate to stop what she, and prosecuting barrister Ellis Sareen, accepted was an entirely peaceful protest by Mr Green. Mr Sareen acknowledged there was no evidence of any ‘service user’ suffering any detriment on the day and that the poster was only ‘an oblique reference’ to abortion.

The judge declined to fine Mr Green, the maximum for the offence being £1000, instead giving him a 12-month conditional discharge. Judge Verghis also ordered the preacher to pay Ealing Council prosecution costs from of £2600, half what they were demanding. Stephen is refusing to pay.

Support Christian Voice →

’Leaves the Bible in chains’

Stephen Green said outside the court: ‘This verdict is a blow against our God-given freedom of speech and our Lord’s express instruction to preach the Gospel. It upholds a local law which prohibits words found in hundreds of verses of the very Bible presented to King Charles at his Coronation on 6th May last year. It leaves the Bible in chains.

‘Buffer zones and this conviction mean that what we can say and what we can display from the Holy Bible are being licenced by the state. I have no choice but to continue to defend myself and fight for justice.

‘People are right to be concerned about the buffer zone legislation. To bar Christian witness and to control what people can say is deeply draconian and particularly discriminatory against Christians, while it appears Muslim protesters can say what they like.

Ask us to come and speak at your church →

Appeal lodged

His Majesty King Charles III kisses the Bible at his Coronation in May 2023 before taking the Oath

‘This finding of “guilty” cannot be allowed to stand. It is is a direct attack on the Bible and free speech, There are serious implications for everyone’s freedom to express their religion, our freedom of speech and our freedom of assembly.

At his coronation, the King promised to “Uphold the Laws of God and the True Profession of the Gospel”. No state, especially not the British state, with our Christian constitution, has any authority to prohibit what God has commanded.

‘If someone does not take a stand, those in power will seize more and more of our God-given freedoms. That is why I stood outside Marie Stopes in Ealing and it is why my solicitors have already lodged an appeal to refer the decision to the Crown Court. With the continued help of the Christian Legal Centre, the case can now be heard afresh.’

’None of us is free’

Andrea Williams, Chief Executive of Christian Concern and the Christian Legal Centre commented:

‘Psalm 139 is one of the most well known and beautiful passages in the Bible which points to the hope and comfort of each person being wonderfully made and looked after by God. Hearing a judge say that verses from Psalm 139 are an ‘act of protest’ and to be punished is devastating.

‘The effect of the PSPO is to create an area where Bible verses and prayer are outlawed. If it is now a criminal offence to hold a sign with a Bible verse on it in a London street, then none of us is free.’

Stephen Green was represented in court by Michael Phillips.

Buffer Zone trial 19th January 2024

Stephen

13 January 2024

In February 2023, buffer zones around abortion clinics were brought in nationally following an amendment to the Public Order Bill. A Government consultation on implementation ends on 22nd January 2024:

Respond to the Consultation →

On Friday 19th January 2024, a Christian preacher faced trial in Uxbridge Magistrates Court at 10am for displaying a Bible verse outside an abortion facility inside a ‘buffer zone’ in Ealing in London.

There was much discussion of the relevance, if any, of a certain Bible verse to abortion! The trial finished quite late, so Judge Burgess decided to think about it and give her judgment on Thursday 1st February at 2pm.

Support Christian Voice →

At a preliminary hearing on Tuesday 17th October 2023, solicitor Robert Smith told the court that Ealing Council’s decision to prosecute Stephen Green infringes his human rights. Mr Smith, defending, told the court: “My client does not accept the charges brought against him. He does not believe his action meets the charges brought.

“In the event that they do, he cites in his defence articles 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Article 9 is freedom of belief, Article 10 is freedom of expression and Article 11 is freedom of assembly.”

But more than that, the commandments of Jesus Christ himself compel Christians to preach the word.

Verse from the Psalms

The Christian Voice National Director is being prosecuted by Ealing Council for doing no more than displaying a verse from the Book of Psalms outside MSI Reproductive Choices clinic on 6th Feb 2023.

His sign said: “Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.”

The campaigner, who is being supported by the Christian Legal Centre, is alleged to have broken a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) that prohibits “protesting, namely engaging in an act of approval/disapproval, with respect to issues related to abortion services”

Politicians and campaigners have decried the introduction of buffer zones as deeply draconian measures that criminalise free speech and prevent vulnerable women from accessing alternatives to abortion.

Protest against Buffer Zones

Mr Green accepts he was outside Marie Stopes, but says he was perfectly within his rights to hold up the placard as a protest, not against abortion, but against the buffer zone. In any event, Marie Stopes staff called the police, who categorised the matter as an emergency, but took more than forty minutes to arrive, by which time Mr Green had left.

Almost at once, Ealing Council sent the activist a fixed penalty notice demanding £100. When he refused to pay, in September 2023, they issued the summons.

If found guilty, Mr Green, from Carmarthen in South Wales, could be fined £1,000 and would face six months in prison if he failed to pay.

Oppressive

Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, said: “It is worrying that a man in his 70s holding a sign with a Bible verse on it is now being treated as an ‘emergency’ situation by the police.

“Buffer zones are an oppressive part of the current culture which force consent and silence dissent. The effect of the PSPO is to criminalise any act of disapproval of abortion and to create an area where no discussion or even prayer relating to abortion is permitted.

“There have now been over 10 million abortions in the UK since abortion was legalised in 1967. That is a staggering number. That is almost twice the population of Scotland and more than the entire population of London. Millions of people would be alive today if abortion had not been legalised.

“Instead of lamenting this loss of life, we are industrialising it, making it ever easier to obtain abortion effectively on demand, and now we are criminalising dissent.

“We will stand with Mr Green as he seeks justice in this case.”

PRAY: that God is glorified. Pray for wisdom for the Christian Concern legal team and favour with God and with the magistrates on 19th January.

The story so far has been reported in The Daily Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Independent, The London Evening Standard Ealing Times, Christian Today, The Jersey Evening Post and Epoch Times.
