How low do you think we can sink in relation to abuse of human life. 
It seems that the “Women Equality Party” are doing their best, as they have launched a campaign to decriminalise the killing of unborn children via abortion. 
Abortion providers in Britain have long recognised that they skate on thin ice. 
Abortion in Britain is illegal, except when the Abortion Act exceptions apply. 
We now have abortion on demand, even sex selection. 
The way the law is framed means that doctors escape prosecution. 
Abortion on demand is illegal and the abortion providers (and their legal advisers) know this, and this is the key reason why they are asking for what they call “decriminalisation” of abortion. 
However, the removal of abortion from legal control could have unintended consequences for the abortion lobby, and a benefit for the unborn child. 
For one thing, whether abortion is a crime or not, it is certainly not healthcare. 
So why should the NHS offer it? 
Without the current fig-leaf of medical justification as required by the Abortion Act, there is no case for public funding. 
The women’s equality party claim that abortion is a “healthcare right”, but in arguing for decriminalisation, they are arguing for abortion to be provided without any medical reason. 
If there is no health angle to abortion, the argument for NHS provision does not hold up.
