On Tuesday 18th October 2022 MPs voted in favour of 150m buffer zones around all abortion clinics in England and Wales and criminalising acts of witness within them.

The new clause adds an ‘Offence of interference with access to or provision of abortion services’ punishable by six months in prison
It says: ‘(1) A person who is within a buffer zone and who interferes with any person’s decision to access, provide, or facilitate the provision of abortion services in that buffer zone is guilty of an offence’.
‘Interferes with’ means, inter alia, ‘(a) seeks to influence, ... (e) advises or persuades, attempts to advise or persuade, or otherwise expresses opinion, (f) informs or attempts to inform about abortion services ...

To outlaw seeking to influence or expressing an opinion is a gross infringement on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. And why don't MPs even want women told about what abortion entails?

Standing up for the vulnerable is at the heart of the Gospel. The Bible says:
Prov 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

As to the humanity of the baby in the womb, the Bible says: Psalm 139:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
