Stop the move to decriminalize abortion!
To the Secretary of State for Health,
the Rt Hon. Jeremy Hunt MP, and Her Majesty’s Government. We call on her
Majesty’s government to uphold protections for the life of the unborn child,
and to reject further attempts to decriminalize abortion.On March 13, the
Ten-Minute Bill put forward by Diana Johnson MP seeking to decriminalize
abortion was passed by 170 votes to 142. The Bill will go for its second
reading on March 24th, after which it can in theory become law.Under current
law, abortion per se remains a criminal offence, but becomes legal subject to
the fulfillment of certain criteria relating to the woman’s physical or mental
health; the physical or mental health of her existing children; or risk of
foetal abnormality. Termination requires the agreement of two doctors that
these conditions are satisfied; at least one of whom should have examined
her.Ms Johnson argues that provisions under the Offences Against the Person Act
1861, making attempts to procure an abortion an offence, are anachronistic.
With such easy access to abortion pills by post, for women wanting privacy, she
says such a law is both ‘inappropriate and unfair’ – as well as being out of
step with public opinion.We argue that this is wrong, and that current
provisions, weak as they are, operate as much-needed safeguards. First,
abortion carries risk and needs medical supervision, if danger to the woman’s
health is to be avoided. Second, if abortion becomes easier up to term, we will
inevitably see a rise in terminations where the baby somehow fails to meet the
expectations of one or both parents; where, for example, the baby is the wrong
sex. Third, girls and young women who become pregnant following abuse will have
no defence against coercion by manipulative and controlling men, whether the
father or not. Fourth, under current law, since 1967 we have already seen 8.2
million abortions, and one in four pregnancies currently end in termination
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36266873). So what happens if all restriction
is removed – will the figures become 1 in 3, 1 in 2? Demographically we are
already in crisis, but at this rate we run the danger of seriously depopulating
the country, making us even more reliant on immigration, which Brexit propsoes
to ban!And none of these arguments touch on the rights of the unborn child,
which Ms Johnson seems entirely to ignore. The current time limit for abortion
is 24 weeks, yet recent studies indicate that increasing numbers of babies are
now viable at 23 weeks - and many are surviving even earlier, at 22, 21 and
even 20 weeks. Proponents of choice argue that a woman has an absolute right to
decide whether or not she wants to have a baby – but, to borrow Ms Johnson’s
terminology, is it really ‘fair’ that a baby capable of being born alive should
legally, and without any medical cause, be aborted? In such case, the full
extent of the moral and legal fiction that an unborn child is not a human being
and therefore has no rights must surely be exposed.For all these reasons we
call on government to reject absolutely Ms Johnson’s proposed change to the law.
