Catholic Leaders Warn Against Extreme Abortion Law
Faith Facts
- The Catholic Church has raised grave concerns about a proposed amendment that would allow abortion up to birth.
- Archbishop John Sherrington emphasized that removing criminal sanctions puts both women and unborn children at greater risk.
- Current UK law permits abortion up to 24 weeks, far above the EU average of 12 weeks.
The Catholic Church stands firm in defense of life, objecting to an extreme amendment that would legalize abortion until the moment of birth. Archbishop John Sherrington, Lead Bishop for Life Issues, urges believers to consider the moral implications for families and society.
“This amendment would allow women to perform abortions at home, up to birth, regardless of the circumstances,” said Archbishop Sherrington.
He cautioned that such a change increases the risk to women’s health and makes vulnerable women more susceptible to pressure.
The amendment, passed in the House of Commons and now debated in the House of Lords, could lead to a significant rise in late-term abortions.
Opposition to this measure is strong among Christian leaders and others in the House of Lords. Lord Alton warned against turning a crime bill into an avenue for radical abortion laws.
“Hijacking an unrelated Bill to try to force through what would be the biggest change to abortion law in this country since the Abortion Act in 1967 is no way to make law,” Lord Alton commented.
With Britain already allowing abortion much later than most European nations, the Church calls on believers to uphold the sanctity of life and defend those who cannot defend themselves. Stand united in faith, advocating for justice rooted in Christian values.

- Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps ideologically guards the regime, controlling the economy and blocking paths to freedom unlike Egypt’s 2013 shift.
- History like 1979 revolution and cases in Afghanistan and Sudan show brief windows of freedom often collapse without Christian values anchoring society.
- True transformation requires God’s intervention, as authoritarian regimes rarely yield genuine democracy absent Biblical principles.
Dr. Martin Parsons warns that U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran will intensify persecution against Iranian Christians in the short term.
The regime, weakened and threatened, draws on Shi’a martyrdom doctrine to target believers as enemies, mirroring past crackdowns amid protests.
Believers everywhere must urgently pray for Iranian Christians.
Trust God’s sovereignty amid trials, as Scripture commands unceasing prayer for persecuted brethren.

Faith Facts
- God rested on the seventh day after creation, blessing the Sabbath as an example for His people (Genesis 2:2-3).
- Hebrews 4:9-10 promises a Sabbath-rest for God’s people, mirroring His own rest from works.
- Jesus invites the weary to find soul-rest in Him, with an easy yoke and light burden (Matthew 11:28-30).
In a culture glorifying endless toil, Christians must reclaim rest as sacred obedience to God’s design.
Rest ceases striving and depends fully on the Creator, renewing strength for faith, family, and freedom.
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)
“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him.” (Psalm 62:1)
Today, pause from worldly pressures, trust in divine provision, and rest to stand firm in biblical values.
