#new The UK House of Lords has just legalized abortion up to and even during birth #uk Women in the UK can now end the life of their unborn baby at any stage, for any reason, without legal consequences. #abortion Critics and pro-lifers say this is one of the most extreme assaults on unborn babies in British history. #baby The decision was made after a vote that stripped criminal protections for unborn babies. While the 1967 Abortion Act’s 24-week limit for abortions is still on the statute book for clinics and medical professionals, the new law removes all criminal liability for women who self-induce abortions — including by taking pills at home — at any point right up to and even during birth. There will be no investigation, no arrest, no prosecution, and no jail time for a mother who decides to end her baby’s life in the ninth month, for any reason whatsoever- even after the point of viability - meaning when the baby could survive outside of the womb. #britain Critics say it is the effective legalization of self-managed infanticide. Details: 🔺️In 2023, there were a record 277,970 abortions in England and Wales. 🔺️That's an 11% rise from the previous year. When including Scotland and Northern Ireland the total topped 299,000. 🔺️One in three pregnancies now ends in abortion. 89% of abortions happen before 10 weeks, but removing criminality may change that #ChristinaAguayoNews
