Episode notes
Britain Passed Late Term Abortion Provision Hidden In Omnibus Bill
- Albert Mohler warns Britain passed an omnibus law effectively allowing abortion up to birth after the House of Lords failed to strip that provision out.
- The provision was buried in larger legal-reform legislation, so many MPs missed the radical change until it had passed the Commons.
Mohler Calls The Vote A Cultural And Medical Disaster
- Mohler calls the change a move into the "culture of death," noting Britain already allowed abortion to 24 weeks and now opens it to full gestation.
- He links medical risks from abortifacients late in pregnancy and hypocritical protections for physicians.
Comparing Britain To New Zealand And China On Abortion Trends
- Mohler compares Britain to New Zealand and China, warning liberalization raises late-term abortions and aligns Britain with countries permitting abortion until birth.
- He cites a 40% increase in late abortions after New Zealand decriminalized abortion in 2020.
