\"Diana<\/a>
Diana Johnson’s Abortion Bill passed as Tory MPs stood by<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Parliamentary Abortion Bill to repeal laws against the practice was given a First Reading in the House of Commons yesterday (13th March 2017).<\/p>\n

The Ten Minute Rule Bill abolishes Sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0See how that matters here<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0(All our links open automatically in a new tab). \u00a0By so doing it legalises abortion up to birth \u00a0The Hansard record of the debate is in this link<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Diana Johnson’s Reproductive Health (Access to Terminations) Bill was passed by 172 votes to 142.<\/p>\n

Even the title of the bill is deceptive. \u00a0This is not about ‘Reproductive Health’, ante-natal clinics etc. \u00a0It is not even about ‘access’ to ‘terminataions’, or abortions, to avoid the weasel word. \u00a0The bill simply makes abortion, all abortion, fully legal. \u00a0If Diana Johnson was honest, the bill would be called the ‘Decriminalisation of Abortion Bill.’<\/p>\n

But 180 Conservative MPs were in the House and stood by as the most extreme pro-abortion bill in a generation passed its first Parliamentary hurdle.<\/p>\n

Just thirteen minutes later these Tory faithful voted for the Government’s Brexit Timetable motion.<\/p>\n

(See how your MP voted on the abortion bill, the timetable motion and the two Brexit votes on our page lsiting all MPs votes here<\/a>.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Abortion Bill could have been killed off<\/h2>\n
\"Maria<\/a>
Maria Caulfield MP opposed abortion on-demand<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those MPs, among\u00a0them pro-life stalwarts,\u00a0could have killed off\u00a0Diana Johnson’s Bill at a stroke.<\/p>\n

Among them was Commons Whip Guto Bebb. \u00a0Mr Bebb wrote to a\u00a0constituent, a Christian Voice member, to say the Bill was going nowhere anyway. \u00a0The Government would never give it time and never allow it to pass. \u00a0Another MP said ‘I generally avoid’ Ten Minute Rule Bills.<\/p>\n

But the passing of the Johnson Bill has encouraged the abortion promoters in the House of Commons. \u00a0It would have sent the pro-death advocates a strong signal had Mr Bebb and his colleagues simply gone through the ‘No’ lobby. \u00a0Many on the Labour\u00a0Front Bench voted ‘Aye’ to the Bill. \u00a0Even Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell thought killing unborn children was in some way ‘socialist’<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 74\u00a0of the\u00a092 Tory MP’s who are members of the Government stood by. \u00a0They included Theresa May, David Davis, Boris Johnson, Priti Patel, Liz Truss and Justine Greening.<\/p>\n

False arguments<\/h2>\n

A Ten Minute Rule Bill is proposed and then opposed. \u00a0Each speech has a maximum length of ten minutes. \u00a0There is no further debate. \u00a0The opposing speech, in this case by\u00a0Maria Caulfield, is followed by the vote. \u00a0In the time available, Miss Caulfield was unable to speak about the humanity of the child in the womb, and how anachronistic abortion is in the light of modern medicine and imaging. \u00a0Instead, she spent her time countering the false arguments of Miss Johnson.<\/p>\n

For some reason, Diana Johnson’s speech\u00a0reminded this author of a line from a song by Steven Stills: ‘Forty nine reasons all in a line,\u00a0All of them good ones all of them lies’. \u00a0Click here for the debate<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And the\u00a0inaction of the 180 calls to mind that quote attributed to Edmund Burke: ‘All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing’.<\/p>\n

Diana Johnson’s Bill is now scheduled for a Second Reading on Friday 24th March. \u00a0The Bill is at the end\u00a0of a long queue<\/a>.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0It may get nowhere on that\u00a0day, but those advocating the most extreme pro-abortion bill for a generation have had a significant boost to their campaign. \u00a0Moreover, it was all because 180 Conservative MPs could not be bothered to oppose evil and walk through a lobby.<\/p>\n
