The Devil in the Detail

Written June 2025

Yesterday, 379 MPs proved yet again that they are indeed the puppets of Satan himself, when they voted to decriminalise abortion right up to the time of birth. Up to the time of birth. Let that sink in. And please pause your reading to go and view some online images of babies born way, way earlier than that. I know I am not alone in feeling intense horror at this.

This appalling change to the law is, of course, being wrapped in feminist tropes to make it appear to be a “women’s rights” issue, as opposed to a “murdering babies” issue. MPs who voted in favour are jubilantly posting on social media about their pride in voting this way, on what they insist is a “victory for women’s rights and bodily autonomy”, and “a woman’s right to choose”. Popular, too, has been the phrase “ending their own pregnancy”, cleverly chosen to keep the emphasis on the women who may take advantage of this despicable newly created loophole, and not where it ought to be, on the babies who will die. It has been hailed as a validation of abortion as “reproductive healthcare”, something many of us are finding extremely unpalatable. “Reproductive healthcare” to most non-murderous individuals surely consists of some type of contraceptive; the pill, perhaps (although beware of this, just saying), or the plain old-fashioned condom. Or at the other end of “reproductive healthcare” we might think of maternity care. What I am quite sure it does not include is the ending of the life of babies who are just about to embark on their journeys of life, but who sadly are an inconvenience.

Imagine a beautiful baby, on the cusp of being born into this world, the miraculous process of gestation all but complete, his or her bond with their mother who has carried them so strong, and with just the final, remarkable journey through the birth canal left to make before announcing his or her arrival into the world with a primal scream. Now imagine that baby’s confusion, pain and suffering, when a catastrophic intervention is made, and he or she is robbed of even the first seconds of a life that should have been lived to the full. I will leave it to others to describe the procedure of a late-stage abortion, I honestly cannot stomach writing the words. Needless to say, it is unbelievably shocking. The pertinent questions, I feel, are these: what about the rights of the babies? Who is speaking for them?

This latest atrocity brought in by the puppets posing as the UK Government is the latest in a line of moves that should make crystal clear to all that the modern world is increasingly targeted towards removing the essence of what it means to be human. We seem to be locked in a spiritual war, between good and evil, between those who want to live soulful and deeply connected lives, finding joy in fellow human beings and the wonder of nature, and those who would be happier living in a metaverse, soulless and cold, fulfilling narcissistic and selfish desires. It is obvious that so many issues are connected, and are part of this spiritual war. I wrote in a previous article about the abstracting of death through the assisted dying bill. And now, allowing women to abort their fully formed, living babies is plumbing new depths of depravity, and is an abstraction of the very meaning of life. Masses have been convinced that we should not trust our own bodies and immune systems, that humans simply cannot survive without multitudes of injections and medications. And, sitting right alongside all of this horror, we have the hideousness that is transgenderism, the literal mutilation of healthy human bodies in the name of an ideology that is steeped in self-hatred and self-centredness. Assisted dying; abortion to term; medication, medication, medication; telling children it is possible that they are born in the wrong body. All brought to you by the evil that seeks to enslave humanity.

It is hard to fathom how anyone could view this change to the abortion law as a positive and necessary step in the progression of humanity. Anyone who has given birth, or indeed held the newborn baby of a friend or family member, knows the unparalleled beauty and joy of those precious little beings, so vulnerable and innocent. That any instinct other than to protect and love should present itself is unimaginable. There are, of course, horrendous circumstances that may surround a woman’s pregnancy, and therefore cause her distress, and a pregnant woman may desperately not want to have the child. There are pregnancies resulting from rape and human trafficking, and from domestic abuse. But the fact remains that the child inside a pregnant woman, after the 24-week legal limit, is a perfectly viable life, and capable of survival outside the womb, and their pain and suffering is, at that late stage of their development, of as much importance as that of the mother. It should go without saying that any desperately vulnerable woman deserves sensitive, gentle help and guidance, something which should be provided and made easy for her to access. But this cannot trump the rights of the baby.

At any rate, whether you believe this to be a good law or not, celebration of the possibility that a woman may essentially end the life of her very-nearly-newborn child, as we saw with the MPs last night who cheered as the vote was announced, is demonic. And alongside the cheerers, there are the postulating, self-appointed intellectual types, such as Ava Santina, who think that pointing out that many women who would do this are in dire straights makes them the most compassionate in the room, and of superior intellect than those of us spelling out what it really is, in all but name: infanticide.

The argument that surrounds abortion is often framed around women having control over their own bodies – “my body, my choice”, so goes the slogan. (As an aside, “my body, my choice” was thrown by the wayside by many of these same women when people like me refused to take the covid vaccines.) However, every human on earth is birthed by a woman (sorry trans folx!), so we must set aside some of the hyperbole around this issue and accept that on one level, women’s bodies are also miraculous growing chambers for tiny new humans. Until now, anti-abortionists and pro-abortionists alike would surely have agreed that there should, at the very least, be a limit to the stage of pregnancy when an abortion can be permitted. I happen to personally believe that 24 weeks, as it has been in the UK since 1990, is too late. Few women are unaware by this stage that they are pregnant, and even for those who perhaps are, the argument above stands that after the foetus is viable, it is then essential to think of the child’s life too. So, to increase this limit – indeed essentially remove it – raises moral questions that simply cannot be ignored. Tonia Antoniazzi and Stella Creasey, the two MPs who have pushed for various versions of this amendment to the abortion law, are shameless creatures, using feminism as a cover for this out and out evil. They can dress it up as much as they like, and pretend that it has public backing, but the reality is, most people are appalled.

This change in law is a recategorization of an act of immense cruelty, and will, over time, reduce the element of shock and revulsion associated with it. But it is revolting. It is appalling. And it should be seen and acknowledged as such. Welcome to Britain in 2025. If a mother gives birth and suffocates that child seconds after it’s emergence into this world, she’s a murderer. Now, if she kills the child a few hours earlier, she’s simply exercising “women’s rights”. Make it make sense, please.
