Call for baby murder to be legalised in Ulster
A United Nations committee has repeated its call for a review of Northern Ireland's abortion law 'through public consultation'. The Committee on the Elimination for Discrimination Against Women noted in its latest report the 1967 Abortion Act does not extend to Northern Ireland. It also suggested this was having a detrimental impact on women's health. No mention of the unborn children's health though! The call coincides with moves by some pro-death Westminster MPs to have the act extended to Northern Ireland. This is despite significant opposition from NI church and political leaders from both sides of the 'religious divide'. Labour's Diane Abbott is among the MPs who want to effectively end the ban on abortion in Northern Ireland, by tabling a legislative amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill. 'Punitive' In its
report, the Committee on the Elimination for Discrimination Against
Women urges the UK to amend the existing law to remove what it calls
the "punitive provision" imposed on women who undergo abortion. What
utter nonsense, the right to life for the unborn child comes above
everything else in a civilised society.
