Lord Alton Condemns Abortion Law Proposal
Faith Facts
- Lord Alton criticized a proposal to legalize abortion up to birth as a “grotesque measure.”
- He warned that the bill’s changes would put both women and unborn children at greater risk.
- Britain’s current abortion law is already more extreme compared to most of the western world.
Lord Alton released his planned speech after being unable to attend the Lords debate on a bill amendment that removes criminal penalties for abortion, effectively allowing abortion until birth.
He argued the measure was “deeply shocking,” especially as it passed quickly in the House of Commons.
Lord Alton highlighted that the original bill was supposed to address crime and anti-social behavior, yet had been appropriated for pushing radical abortion changes.
“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,” he said.
He pointed out that British law already allows abortion up to 24 weeks—double the European Union average of 12 weeks.
The proposed bill could result in more women being exposed to dangers, particularly through late-term at-home abortions.
“Imagine the distress, practicalities, and dehumanisation of these self-administered procedures,” he said.
Lord Alton opposed the “pills by post” scheme and called for a return to in-person medical consultations before abortions, emphasizing the need to protect both mother and child.
In closing, he declared, “If we fail to raise our voices now and fail to rouse the conscience of the nation, both women and unborn babies will be the victims. Both lives matter and we should unhesitatingly say so. We are a civilised country – not a barbaric one. Introducing abortion up to birth should have no place in a civilised society. It is abhorrent.”
Christian citizens are called to stand for life, protect the innocent, and ensure our laws honor biblical values and the dignity of every human being.

- Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox encourages believers to share their faith with confidence.
- Lennox stresses that evangelism is not reserved only for preachers, theologians, or those with extensive biblical knowledge.
- Every Christian is called to be a witness for Christ in daily life.
Oxford mathematician and Christian apologist Professor John Lennox is urging believers everywhere to share their faith with greater boldness and confidence. He reminds Christians that the call to witness is not limited to pastors or scholars but belongs to every follower of Christ.
“We’re all called to be witnesses,” Lennox declares. This simple truth challenges the idea that only trained experts can effectively share the gospel.
Professor Lennox emphasizes that evangelism is not about having every theological answer or delivering polished sermons. Instead, it is about living out and speaking the truth of Christ wherever God places His people.
His words come as a timely encouragement to Christians who may feel hesitant or unqualified to speak about their faith. Lennox points to the biblical calling that every believer is a witness, empowered by the Holy Spirit to share the hope within them.
