Britain's Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill: Waging War against Babies
The UK war against babies continues unabated and 2008 may prove to be the deadliest year for the unborn in Britain since the introduction of abortion in 1967. A number of pro-abortion amendments to the controversial Human Fertilisation and Embryology bill have been tabled for the report stage of the bill, set for Monday 14 July. The amendments attempt to remove safeguards on abortion, such as a second doctor's signature and specified medical grounds on all early and mid-term abortions. The amendments would also allow abortion providers to use nurses and midwives to perform abortions instead of doctors and allow abortions to be performed in a wider range of health care centres. Attempts to lower the legal limit for abortion from the current 24 weeks to 20 were defeated earlier this year by a Commons majority of 71.

Abortion kills a living human being
Following a landmark court ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, a South Dakota law for women to give informed consent prior to abortion is set to come into effect. The law requires doctors to give women who come for an abortion a written statement telling them that "the abortion will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being," and that they have "an existing relationship with that unborn human being that is constitutionally protected. In addition, doctors are ordered to describe "all known medical risks of the abortion procedure and statistically significant risk factors," including "depression

| Greetings!
We report today on the continuing war on babies in the UK. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, which will reach the report stage next week.
This bill, which has already been used to reject attempts to lower the legal limit for abortion from the current 24 weeks to 20 weeks but will approve animal human hybrids, will now deal with a number of amendments by pro-abortion MP's designed to make abortion even easier to obtain.
In contrast we also report on US circuit court judgement that carefully avoids the issue of personhood but requires doctors to inform women that abortion kills a living human being.
I have also posted a number of new articles on my blog which can be accessed on the following URL

Police have begun investigations after a woman identified as 'Jane' called a radio show and claimed to have given her terminally ill father a lethal injection ten years ago. The woman's harrowing description of the misery her father apparently suffered, highlights the need for decent palliative care to be more readily available so that those nearing the end of life can receive the physical, emotional and spiritual care necessary to live out their final days with dignity. for more details and comment see my blog post http://europeanlifenetwork.blogspot.com/2008/07/gardai-investigating-euthanasia-claim.html

In Utero Surgery saves Irish Twins
Twins were born earlier this year after in utero surgery at the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. An otherwise fatal condition meant that one baby deprived the other of blood. Lasers were used to repair blood vessels. [Irish Independent, 7 July] |
Ireland uneasy at finding its democracy eroding and its values changed.
Kathy Sinnott MEP in a speech at the end of Slovenia's presidency told the EU Parliament that Ireland was uneasy at finding its democracy eroding and its values changed. "Concerning values" Ms Sinnott told the assembly " Many still considers Ireland a Christian nation, despite the recent decades of secularisation. We are uneasy at European voices calling for either a right to abortion or a right to euthanasia. It is only a year since this Parliament, the Council and the Commission in the Advanced Therapies Directive chose not to ban embryo destructive cloning, commercialisation of the human body and animal human hybrids. Shortly before that the 7th Framework Directive allowed EU funding for embryo destructive research. Only a year ago on 5th July 2007 here in the Parliament, a conference was held to promote Medically assisted dying and Euthanasia in Europe." | |
