Dear
SPUC supporter,
In June, MPs approved an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, that would legalise self-induced abortions up to birth ([link removed]) .

New Clause 1, tabled by Tonia Antoniazzi MP, is now Clause 191 of the Crime and Policing Bill. The Bill is now in the House of Lords, where peers will have the opportunity to debate and amend it.

We need to call on the Lords to act, to stop this horrific clause becoming law.

The Bill comes up for its Second Reading debate this Friday, 16 October. The best opportunities to make changes are likely to come at Committee stage. We don’t have an exact date for that yet, but we know that the abortion clause will be debated on the last day of Committee.

We need as many people as possible writing to as many Lords as possible to spur them to take action.

To help make this happen, we will be holding a dedicated webinar on this topic on Tuesday 21 October at 7pm. We will run through the details of this amendment, and give practical tips on how to lobby Lords.

If you’re happy with writing to Lords, here’s a reminder of how to do so:

Write to Lords

Please write to members of the House of Lords and ask them to fight the extreme abortion up-to-birth amendment.

As always, physical letters, written in your own words, are the most impactful. You can use our guide, How to Write to Lords on Pro-Life Issues, to help you.

You can also use our briefing on this Bill, Decriminalisation: The Legal Consequences of Removing Women from Abortion Law.

Alternatively, you can use our online tool. This tool brings up a suggested Peer for you to write to, and an editable template. The tool will email the message to you, either with instructions on posting it to the peer, or emailing it to them, depending on which option you choose.

Please do all you can to oppose this awful amendment.

With best wishes,
