Dear SPUC supporter,

In the last 24 hours, we have seen the Government give permission for DIY abortions at home during the Coronavirus crisis, and then just as quickly rescind it.

Yesterday the Department of Health gave the go-ahead for women to obtain both the pills needed to do their own abortion away from a medical setting. By the evening this new measure had been dropped (on the basis of a claim that it had been published in error).

The abortion lobby is on the warpath. They want to get that new measure back. And they are also lobbying to dispense with the rule for two doctors to certify abortions, and allow just one doctor, nurse or midwife to certify abortion procedures directly.

BPAS is lobbying MPs to make representations today to the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to amend the Coronavirus Bill in their favour. 

We must act. Please email your MP with this simple message: “Please resist any move by the abortion lobby in Parliament to hijack the emergency Coronavirus Bill.”

We are in a time of national emergency, with the healthcare service already stretched to breaking point trying to preserve life. It is beyond belief that the abortion lobby is exploiting this crisis to make it easier to kill unborn babies and remove any remaining protection from women.

Please email your MP now. We have only hours to resist this.
 
Best wishes,


Antonia Tully
