SPUC comments on Dorries abortion debate

SPUC said the defeat of Nadine Dorries’ amendments in Parliament was a relief. SPUC had expressed serious reservations about the amendments, especially in light of Mrs Dorries’ previous attacks on pro-life counselling organisations, services which have done so much over the past 40 years to help women. The amendment was defeated by 368 votes to 118.

Alison Davis's powerful response to euthanasia campaigner Tony Nicklinson

Alison Davis, the coordinator of No Less Human, a group within SPUC representing disabled people, has written a powerful response to a BBC interview with Tony Nicklinson, a paralysed Englishman campaigning for a so-called 'right to die'. Mrs Davis said: "From my own personal perspective, what stands out most from this interview is Mr Nicklinson's opinion that his situation 'causes anguish the pro-life campaigners could not possibly understand'. One has to assume that he has not the slightest idea of who 'pro-life campaigners' are, and what they may have personally experienced." [John Smeaton, 8 September] http://bit.ly/oPPFLj

Head of UN women's agency calls for so-called 'family planning' to deal with so-called 'over-population'

Michelle Bachelet, the head of UN Women, has called for so-called 'family planning' to be promoted in order to deal with a supposed global over-population crisis. Mrs Bachelet said: "When we are 9, 10 billion people, what are we going to do? Go to Mars? Go to the moon?" [Global Post, 8 September] http://bit.ly/p0soeS In contrast, pro-life demographers have argued that the world is increasingly under-populated.
