UK Abortion Limit Stays at 24 Weeks Despite Washington Think Tank's Tactics |
| Wed May 21, 2008 at 03:34:00 AM EST |  print story | |
IN GOD'S NAME is a revealing documentary about how the Alliance Defense Fund is using its tactics to try to restrict abortion in Europe as well as in America. Watch this trailer: |
As in America the tactic is to use misleading statistics (eg. stress the fact that the UK has the highest abortion rate in Europe while not mentioning that it also has one of the highest birth rates, and the third largest population in Europe, only after Russia and Germany).
The Liberal Democrat Dr. Evan Harris, a high profile pro-choice MP, said: "Any reduction in the abortion time limit from 24 weeks breaks the crucial link with what the medical consensus says is viability. Once that happens it becomes extremely difficult to defend any particular time limit against attack from the anti-abortion campaigners." This is an important point because it reveals the intention behind the Conservative-backed bill.
Even more worrying is that the bill was introduced to a conservative MP by a fundamentalist Christian, who herself was backed by Alliance Defense Fund which helped her to draft the new proposed bill. I watched a documentary about this on Channel 4 Dispatches called IN GOD'S NAME
