in any situation, under any circumstances.
So no woman would ever be investigated for aborting their own child at any point in the pregnancy.
Yeah, absolutely, without question.
So there's absolutely no question this has been tagged on, it's been tucked in, it's been, if you like, hidden within a bigger bill and passed through.
Because you're also right, there is absolutely no public appetite for this and there is no public agreement with it.
SPUC, my organisation, carried out some polling last year and what we found on the question of abortion up to birth
just 1% of the population agree with that proposition, that a woman should be allowed to abort her child up to the point of birth, 1%.
No party had this in its manifesto, no party claims this as policy, but yes, this was put in.
If I can use an analogy or a comparison, this is exactly the tactic
that the current British government used on the topic of assisted suicide.
You might know there has been an assisted suicide bill also making its way through the British Parliament, but not as a government bill, not sponsored by the government.
Again, the Labour Party, who are in government at the moment, did not have assisted suicide in their manifesto at the last election.
They did not say they were going to try and enact an assisted suicide law.
But what they did was they allowed a Labour government
backbench MP, Kim Leadbeater, time and support to put a private member's bill into Parliament pushing for assisted suicide.
So yes, there is an element here of deceit and of subterfuge where some of these incredibly progressive pieces of wild social and political liberalism are being pushed onto the parliamentary agenda in a very, very underhand way.
And it's important to remember that there isn't public support for this.
Now, there has been some discussion around whether or not this constitutes legalization.
Some people have said, for example, in the UK and the European media, but it's not legalizing abortion.
It's only decriminalizing it.
