Stella Creasy arguing for abortion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Empathy, common sense and basic humanity all took the afternoon off yesterday as the House of Commons debated how best to set about killing more children in the womb. The link to the debate is here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of a succession of hard cases and heartrending sob stories, they should start with the presumption that human life is to be protected, then move to ask what is the question.\u00a0 They did the opposite.<\/p>\n

Peter Hitchens says here<\/strong><\/a> the Irish referendum was ‘pretty much the end for Christian Europe’. What will he say about this travesty of a debate? Except to ask: ‘And once one vulnerable, voiceless minority has been classified as less than human, who will be next?’<\/p>\n

After a Commons debate on abortion time limits in 1990, Sir David Amess said ‘the witches flew in’. After six votes, a 24-week limit was agreed. That is more permissive than any other jurisdiction. It is also way past the point at which babies can now survive outside the womb. It is twenty-one weeks after a baby’s heart starts beating. Moreover, it is 24 weeks after a new human life was created by God’s miracle of sexual reproduction.<\/p>\n

Innocent blood cries to heaven<\/h2>\n

The taking of an innocent human life was the first ever crime and it was a crime which cries to heaven:<\/p>\n

Genesis 4:10\u00a0And he (God) said (to Cain), What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The witches flew in again yesterday afternoon as Stella Creasy MP initiated a debate. She said she was encouraged by the referendum in Ireland. That is expected to lead to abortion being legalised in the Republic up to twelve weeks. But Stella Creasy and her supporters want abortion to be decriminalised completely throughout the whole United Kingdom. She would do that by repeal of Sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 (below). She seems to think that would legalise abortion up to 24 weeks. Others say it would mean up to birth. Don’t expect those spitting in the face of God to tell the truth.<\/p>\n

Dressed in kindness<\/h2>\n

The face of evil is dressed in kindness. Stella Creasy quoted Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. She said he: ‘welcomed the yes vote in Ireland a week ago, saying that Ireland will no longer say to women, \u201cTake the boat\u201d or \u201cTake the plane\u201d when they need an abortion. Instead, he said, Ireland will say, \u201cTake our hand.\u201d ‘ The abortionists will actually say, ‘Hand over your money!’<\/p>\n

Ms Creasy said she was supported by a number of members of the Death Squad. She named Alliance for Choice, the London Irish Abortion Rights Campaign, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the Family Planning Association, Marie Stopes and Amnesty International. Two of those are actual abortion providers. BPAS and Marie Stopes make their living from killing. Yet the word of God curses them:<\/p>\n

Deut 27:25\u00a0Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hypocrite of the day<\/h2>\n

Our prize for hypocrite of the day goes to Vicky Ford (Con): ‘If people check my voting record, they will see that I always support the woman\u2019s right to choose. I always support the woman\u2019s right to access contraception, and I never support the death penalty.’\u00a0 Except for unborn children in what should be the safest place on God’s earth. The MP for Chelmsford supports the death penalty for them all right.<\/p>\n

‘Idiot of the day’ goes to Huw Merriman (Con) who ‘fundamentally believe (s) \u200bin the right of women to choose what to do with their bodies.’ Er, her baby is a separate and distinct body. Duh. But Jo Stevens made that a hard decision with ‘Every man in this Chamber has control and choice over their reproductive healthcare. Every man in this Chamber can have a vasectomy if they wish to do so, without the threat of prosecution.’ Do try not to laugh…<\/p>\n

Sir Jeffrey Donaldson (DUP) spoke very well, as did Fiona Bruce (Con). The DUP’s Sammy Wilson said he was ‘not embarrassed’ about the law in Northern Ireland. There were people living there today who would otherwise have been ‘discarded and put in a bin before they were ever born’.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the reality of abortion was not something which could be allowed to intrude. Hannah Bardell (SNP) said ‘to talk about unborn children being thrown in the bin or babies being disposed of, are disgusting ways to describe the choices that women have to make anywhere in the UK but particularly in Northern Ireland’.<\/p>\n

We say the ‘choice’ to kill your child should not even be there in any kind of civilised society.<\/p>\n

Unborn child has no human rights<\/h2>\n

The expression ‘human rights’ was uttered forty-four times in the debate. In contrast, ‘unborn child’ was mentioned by just four MPs: Sir Jeffrey, Fiona Bruce, Sammy Wilson and David Simpson (DUP). The minister, pro-abortion Karen Bradley, hedged her bets by speaking of ‘unborn foetuses’. Watch my Nanosermon on the use of such language: ‘Foetus leaps in womb shock.<\/strong><\/a>‘<\/p>\n

The House did not vote. It merely ‘considered the role of the UK Parliament in repealing sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861.’ Abortion remains a devolved issue in Northern Ireland. The BBC sets out Mrs May’s options here<\/strong><\/a>, but cannot resist a bit of low-key pro-abortion campaigning along the way.<\/p>\n

The word of God to Israel remains a challenge to every nation today:<\/p>\n

Deut 30:19:\u00a0I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,\u00a0that<\/i>\u00a0I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pray our nation (and your nation) would choose life.<\/p>\n

Offence Against the Person Act<\/h2>\n

The Offences Against the Person Act 1861 says<\/strong><\/a>:
\n58 Administering drugs or using instruments to procure abortion.
\nEvery woman, being with child, who, with intent to procure her own miscarriage, shall unlawfully administer to herself any poison or other noxious thing, or shall unlawfully use any instrument or other means whatsoever with the like intent, and whosoever, with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, whether she be or be not with child, shall unlawfully administer to her or cause to be taken by her any poison or other noxious thing, or shall unlawfully use any instrument or other means whatsoever with the like intent, shall be guilty of felony, and being convicted thereof shall be liable . . . to be kept in penal servitude for life . . .
\n59 Procuring drugs, &c. to cause abortion.
\nWhosoever shall unlawfully supply or procure any poison or other noxious thing, or any instrument or thing whatsoever, knowing that the same is intended to be unlawfully used or employed with intent to procure the miscarriage of any woman, whether she be or be not with child, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and being convicted thereof shall be liable . . . to be kept in penal servitude . . .<\/p>\n
