HUMAN FERTILISATION & EMBRYOLOGY BILL
The Report Stage of this Bill will reach the House any day now. We must understand that the Bill (dreadful as it is) could be made even more horrendous by amendments tabled at Report Stage. It is vital that we send pro-life cards or write to or telephone our MPs opposing:- An amendment that requires only one doctor (instead of two as at present) to sign the form permitting abortion.
An amendment which stipulates that nurses may carry out early medical abortions.
URGE YOUR MP TO SUPPORT:
An amendment requiring “informed consent” whereby women are entitled to receive information on pregnancy and the possible effects of abortion. Most countries in western Europe – all of which have abortion rates far lower than in the UK – have “informed consent” written into their legislation.
The Bill at present allows the production of admixed embryos (including full hybrids – 50% human/50% animal). A pro-life amendment would require scientists to demonstrate that there are no alternatives available before they may create human or human/animal embryos. This is vitally important.
Urge your MP to support other pro-life amendments.
Write to your MP (presumably Jacquie Lait or Jim Dowd) at the House of Commons, Westminster, London SW1A 0AA. Telephone 0207 219 3000.
1st Monday of the month.
New members would be most welcome & anyone interested in Catholic Social Teaching and other related matters should come along to the Parish Centre at 7.30pm.
