Peers Stand Against Radical Abortion Changes
Faith Facts
- Amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill seek to protect women and unborn children from dangerous abortion proposals.

Peers are raising the alarm over proposals in the Crime and Policing Bill that would drastically liberalize abortion laws in the UK. These amendments stress the importance of upholding protections that value life and ensure women’s safety as a moral imperative rooted in Christian compassion.
The removal of face-to-face consultations for abortion pills has led to tragic abuses, including late-term abortions and cases of coercion, triggering grave concerns among faith leaders and pro-life advocates.
“An extreme social change for which there is no public pressure or demand, and could have tragic consequences for women, as well as leading to increased numbers of abortions of viable babies,” warned Baroness Monckton.
Baroness Stroud emphasized, “The solution to such cases is not to make matters worse by removing the legal deterrent against women performing their own at-home abortions up to birth, which would likely endanger women further, but to reinstate in-person consultations.”
Christian voices urge lawmakers to defend the sanctity of life and resist radical shifts that neglect responsibility to the unborn and the vulnerable. Join those standing for Biblical values and the protection of women by staying informed on this vital issue.
