Victoria Atkins, Health Secretary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Victoria Atkins, in an interview with the Telegraph, indicated that she would back decriminalising abortion and creating buffer zones around abortion clinics.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

“My voting record speaks for itself”<\/h2>\n

Victoria Atkins told the Telegraph: ‘I\u2019m 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.<\/p>\n

‘And so at this stage, I\u2019m not going to say anything publicly because I just want to see how the debate develops. But my voting record speaks for itself.’<\/p>\n

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

Birth rates hitting record lows across the pro-abortion West<\/h2>\n

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<\/a> in the 2024 presidential campaign, and Vice President Kamala Harris is embarking on a nationwide “abortion tour” to rally voters.<\/p>\n

The U.K. is witnessing efforts to completely decriminalise abortion, while in France,<\/a> the Senate recently voted to enshrine abortion in the country’s constitution.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom,is also grappling with a record-low birthrate.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

A letter to MPs<\/h2>\n

Recently, Christian Voice National Director, Stephen Green, wrote to 50 MPs on the issue of abortion.<\/p>\n

He wrote: ‘Our pro-life MPs are especially in our prayers for wisdom, and in these days, for safety.
\nYou 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s womb. A pregnant woman used to be described as \u2018with child\u2019. So if that is not a human being, can they kindly tell the House what it is?<\/p>\n
