I wanted to let you know straight away that an extreme abortion proposal to make allow abortion up to birth has been defeated.
Pro-abortion MP Diana Johnson’s extreme abortion amendment to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill was not voted on by MPs.
This means that New Clause 55, which would have completely decriminalised abortion up to birth, will not be included in the Bill.
Thank you so much to all of you who contacted your MP at very short notice to oppose Diana Johnson's deadly proposal. Many MPs have received the message load and clear that we will not tolerate such extreme and barbaric practices.
We hope that being defeated again will prove to Diana Johnson that there is no appetite for such extreme abortion legislation in this country. But if she or another pro-abortion MP do try to decriminalise abortion again we will be ready to take action to protect unborn babies and their mothers
