What Price Human Life?
How can we be so stupid?
This past Wednesday, 18th March, to what one can only feel will be their enduring shame, the House of Lords voted to reject Baroness Monckton’s amendment that would have removed Clause 208 of the Crime and Policing Bill, allowing a woman to abort her baby up to birth, for any or no reason at all, beyond the fact the child is unwanted.
The easy availability of pills by post means that a woman won’t even have to see a doctor first, or have her abortion under any kind of medical supervision. This will not only kill the unborn child, but, with the heightened risk attaching to late-term abortion, will endanger the life of the mother as well.
But, for our freedom-loving Peers valiantly championing female autonomy, this is apparently a risk worth running – despite the fact it puts them at odds with the majority of the British electorate.
According to a poll conducted last year by The Telegraph, for instance, 91% of over 28,000 respondents said they opposed a change to abortion law, and wanted to maintain, or even reduce the current time limit of 24 weeks. And, when you think about it, a reduction in the time limit makes far more sense than allowing an unborn, sentient child – capable of independent existence outside the mother’s womb – to be killed, just because it’s not wanted, or the wrong sex!

As the Bill now stands, lifting the prohibition on a woman terminating the life of her unborn child is nothing more than State-sanctioned murder. It is prioritising the wishes of one human being over another – the only difference being that one individual demands the absolute right to decide whether or not the ‘foetus’ will win the lottery for life, and the other lacks any means to protest.
We currently have a government that has banned the boiling of lobsters while they are alive and conscious, on the grounds that it is cruel and inhumane. The hypocrisy involved in our approach to abortion is mind-boggling. It is well established that a baby in the womb feels pain, with some neurological studies even suggesting that a baby will respond to the experience of pain from around seven weeks’ gestation, though it won’t be able to process the sensation as felt experience until around 23-25 weeks.
Which, in layman’s language, means that an unborn child will have the sensation of pain from around seven weeks gestation, but won’t emotionally connect with the sensation until around 24 weeks. From which we can deduce that a baby will experience the pain produced by abortion from seven weeks, and emotionally connect with the sensation from around 24 weeks – and indeed, it’s mandated in the United States that a foetus of more than 22 weeks' gestational age should receive pain reducing drugs before being subjected to abortion.
A baby will experience the pain produced by abortion from seven weeks, and emotionally connect with the sensation from around 24 weeks.
Clearly, a mother self-administering abortion via pills by post will not take steps to minimise any pain caused to her unborn child, but in our humane and caring society, this is apparently irrelevant. All that matters is the well-being and support of the mother, who has an absolute right to decide what happens to her own body, and whether or not her child will live or die.
So lobsters apparently deserve more consideration than an unborn child.
This is not only cruel, unnecessary and immoral; in practical terms, it is also horrifyingly ill-advised. Since the implementation of the Abortion Act 1967, we have seen in England and Wales almost 11 million abortions – which comes out at roughly the entire populations of London, Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham combined.
According to data produced by Worldometer, the population of the UK, as of Friday, 20th March 2026, stands at 69,849,456. An estimated 73% of that number is traditional white British, which comes out at around 50 million. In 1967 our total population was around 55 million. It is predicted that by 2050, the percentage of white British will have dropped to 57%, before becoming a minority by 2063.

To spell this out, the increase in our population between 1967 and 2026 is the result of immigration, and our indigenous population over the last fifty years has actually dropped by some 4 million – a direct result of the combined effects of contraception and abortion. It is perhaps worth reminding our law makers that for any society to survive it needs a replacement level fertility rate of 2.3 children per woman of childbearing age. The UK’s recorded replacement level fertility rate in 2024 was 1.4. In the same year, the Office for National Statistics recorded that 37.3% of live births were to parents where either one or both were born outside the UK .
Except where a woman’s life is in danger, Islam, Hinduism and Sikhism all regard abortion as wrong and a sin. As a general rule, therefore, the immigrant population will avoid abortion, a fact born out by the statistics, which show that 77% of women seeking abortion are of white ethnicity, 9% are Asian, and 8% are black. The most depleted ethnic group is therefore the white indigenous population, which, without any positive encouragement to have children, appears to be in terminal decline.
And it is this the House of Lords have voted to approve! Are they actively seeking to eliminate the UK’s native population, or are they simply stupid?
Let us be clear, abortion is wrong. From the moment of conception, the complete genetic package for that new life is there.
Let us be clear, abortion is wrong. From the moment of conception, the complete genetic package for that new life is there. Nothing from then on will be added or taken away – all it needs do is grow. But even if you question the status of the foetus as a human being, concern for the survival of the human race demands we care for, and not kill, our unborn.
Here in the UK, if we wish our society and culture to survive, we should not be seeking to extend the right to abortion, but rather to support and build strong families, encouraging both mothers and fathers to see their unborn children as gifts, to be protected, nurtured and cared for.
The decriminalisation of abortion is not the display of compassion, as claimed. It is legalised murder of the innocent, who not only deserve our love and care, but on whose existence our future depends.
