Houses of Parliament<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One question in the Tory Party election which you won\u2019t see asked by the mainstream media is which, if any, of the candidates is pro-life and pro-family.<\/p>\n

Be sure news people know about it.  They will be doing their best to advance pro-abortion candidates and doing down any seen as pro-life.  They know it matters.<\/p>\n

What does the Bible say?<\/h2>\n

Indeed defending innocent human life is as important to our United Kingdom as the shedding of it is to the realm of Satan.  The Bible says, in Exodus 23 and verse 7:<\/p>\n

Exod 23:7b The innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.<\/b><\/p>\n

We read in Proverbs chapter six and verses sixteen and seventeen that the Lord hates the hands, like those of the abortionists, that shed innocent blood.<\/p>\n

The Lord evicted the Canaanites from the Promised Land because they practised ritual sodomy and child sacrifice. He later judged the people of Israel for doing the very same thing. From Psalm 106 we read that just like us, they forgot to serve the Lord:<\/p>\n

Psa 106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.<\/b><\/p>\n

MPs\u2019 voting records<\/h2>\n
\"Liz<\/a>
Liz Truss<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the Christian Voice office we record how MPs vote on a range of issues.<\/p>\n

So I am able to tell you that on 9th July 2019, both Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat voted \u2018Aye\u2019 in the House of Commons to a measure to impose both abortion on demand and gay marriage on Northern Ireland. Rishi Sunak, Penny Mordaunt and Kemi Badenoch all abstained.<\/p>\n

On 30th March 2022 the House voted on an amendment to the Health and Care Bill to keep Do-it-Yourself abortion permanent.<\/p>\n

\"Tom<\/a>
Tom Tugendhat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This measure was brought in during the Covid Lockdown to enable women to receive abortion pills by post. It was a temporary measure.<\/p>\n

We should always, by the way, be suspicious of government \u2018temporary measures\u2019. They have a strange habit of sticking around.<\/p>\n

\u2019Pills-by-post\u2019 open to abuse<\/h2>\n

Under this one, women did not need to see a doctor as the 1967 Abortion Act requires, they just rang up.<\/p>\n

It was open to abuse on the time limits<\/b><\/a>, women could be pressured into it by parents or a partner, there had already been complications<\/b><\/a> and at least two women died<\/b><\/a>. Nevertheless, the House of Commons voted on 30th March to make this temporary measure permanent.<\/p>\n

\"Kemi<\/a>
Kemi Badenoch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat all abstained. Penny Mordaunt voted for it. Only Kemi Badenoch voted against, together with Suella Braverman, who was eliminated yesterday.<\/p>\n

Candidate analysis<\/h2>\n

You may care to know that thirty-five Conservative MPs voted \u2018No\u2019 to abortion and gay-marriage in Ulster in 2019 AND to pills-by-post back in March. They included Suella and her campaign manager Steve Baker.<\/p>\n

In fact members of this group of thirty-five pro-life MPs have been very likely to declare themselves in the leadership race for Suella, then for Kemi, then for Liz, then for Tom, then for Penny – and for Rishi, hardly at all.<\/p>\n

\"Penny<\/a>
Penny Mordaunt<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It shows some MPs at least see this as a defining issue.<\/p>\n

Sitting on the fence<\/h2>\n

Out of the five remaining candidates only Kemi Badenoch is remotely pro-life. Liz Truss and Tom Tugendhat are pro-abortion and pro-sodomy, Penny Mordaunt is pro-abortion and pro-trans.  Ms Mordaunt told the House of Commons on two occasions that \u2018trans-women are women\u2019.  See Sky news story here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the devout Hindu, Rishi Sunak, sits on the fence. And yes, religion is important.<\/p>\n

\"Rishi<\/a>

How will a man who cannot understand where the UK has come from know where we should go, which is to our knees in repentance before King Jesus?<\/p>\n

Prayer points<\/h2>\n

So pray in to this, and let us see what the Lord will do in the series of televised debates coming up over this weekend. As the word of God tells us to pray for those in authority, let us pray for those seeking it:<\/p>\n

1Ti 2:1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
\n1Ti 2:2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. <\/b><\/p>\n

We appreciate your support – without it we can’t do our research and help inform your prayers.
