Proposals to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales is a policy proposal too far. Now is the time for Christians to speak up and outline the risks to women and the unborn child in pregnancy.
Now is the time to act
The advocacy team here at the Evangelical Alliance, have briefed parliamentarians ahead of the vote, stating the importance of the law in protecting the pregnant woman and the unborn child. We have also set out alternative pro-life affirming policies and practices in maternity units that could better support women and families during and following pregnancy.
We anticipate MPs will debate the revised Bill and vote on these two amendments in early February and we would encourage members to write to their MPs before then.
The advocacy team have provided an update and new call to action in light of NC2 amendment withdrawn at committee stage and a Diana Johnson’s amendment re-published ahead of the report stage debate and vote. Take action here.
