The Abortion (Amendment Bill, designed to reduce the time limit for a legal abortion in Britain from 28 weeks to 18, was defeated in the in the House of Commons on May 6. The private member’s bill was “talked out” by its opponents.
For the second time pro-abortionists have prevented a free debate in the H of C and once again Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher refused to provide extra time for voting on the bill despite a parliamentary majority in favor of a vote.
European countries which have legalized the killing of the unborn set the time limit for abortions at 12-14 weeks and in Sweden, it is 18 weeks. Britain’s limit of 28 weeks, therefore, stands out as especially barbaric.
