Buffer Zones in Parliament<\/h2>\n

Parliament is currently debating installing so-called \u2018buffer zones\u2019 around all abortion clinics and all hospitals in England and Wales. We are praying against this \u2018Clause 9\u2019 of the Public Order Bill. But peers in the House of Lords have been at pains to stress abortion \u2018is not the issue\u2019.\u00a0 Read the Third Reading Debate here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For this ministry, abortion IS the issue. Social abortion takes the life of an innocent human being. Each one is our brother or sister in the womb. The Bible says innocent bloodshed defiles the land:<\/p>\n

Numb 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.<\/b><\/p>\n

The judgment falls upon us all, on the whole nation:<\/p>\n

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.<\/b><\/p>\n

Existing Buffer Zones<\/h2>\n

In the meantime, no fewer than five local authorities in England have installed their own buffers zones around abortion facilities in their areas. They have passed Public Space Protection Orders concerning them.<\/p>\n

By the grace of God we are going to challenge them and at the same time challenge the abortion mentality of those in power. Our National Director will be standing with a Bible verse and preaching from the word inside each Buffer Zone, outside each abortion building, one per day, all next week. That\u2019s five buffer zones in five days. So the Buffer Zone Challenge is a challenge for him as well.<\/p>\n

As it happens, he might well preach against the buffer zone itself, rather than against abortion.\u00a0 Curiously, that appears to be allowed inside the buffer zone.\u00a0 (P.S. that was the approach at Ealing yesterday). Or he might simply report on the buffer zone.\u00a0 That is definitely allowed. Or he might preach on abortion just outside the buffer zone. That too is allowed. In whichever approach, as the Bible records David’s army commander Joab said to Abishai his brother, according to the King James Version translators:<\/p>\n

2Sam 10:12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buffer Zone Challenge 2023<\/h2>\n

The central issue around abortion is firstly, is there a human being in the womb, in what should be the safest place on God\u2019s earth? If so, all the scriptures above come into play and the shedding of innocent blood in our land at the hands of every abortionist is bringing judgment on us all.<\/p>\n

Secondly, there is the issue of Freedom of Speech (Article 10 of the Human Rights Act<\/strong><\/a> and Charter) and Freedom of Assembly (Article 11).<\/p>\n

Thirdly, there is the matter of freedom of thought, belief and religion (Article 9). Christians are commanded to preach the Gospel. We are commanded to pray. We are commanded to witness to those in power.<\/p>\n

Fourthly, this United Kingdom is constitutionally a nation under God. It follows there can be no part of it where Christian prayer, preaching or witness is \u2018against the law\u2019.<\/p>\n

Come along and listen to the word of God and support us with your presence. None of the PSPOs forbids anyone from standing and observing an alleged breach of the PSPO. Or for that matter, reporting on the handing out of a penalty or an arrest by the police, should they be called.<\/p>\n
