MOGG ‘AGAINST ANY ABORTION’
RAILY MAD MP also opposes gay marriage NURSES IN PAY DEMO
TWO teenage daredevils risk their lives as they leap from a moving train into water for a stunt.
The boys plunged into a dock at Heron Quays, in Canary Wharf, east London.
YouTube star Rikke Brewer posted the video taken on the Docklands Light Railway and boasted it was his “biggest stunt yet”.
TOP Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg yesterday revealed he is opposed to all abortions.
He said it included victims of rape or pregnancies from incest.
The Catholic father-of-six also said he was against same-sex marriage.
Rees-Mogg has been heavily backed as Theresa May’s replacement as Prime Minister among activists in a poll, but now faces waves of criticism.
In an interview on Good Morning Britain, the MP said: “My personal opinion is that life begins at the point of conception and abortion is morally indefensible.”
The Eton and Oxford-educated MP also slammed same-sex marriage.
He said: “I’m a Catholic and I take the teaching of the Catholic church seriously in matters of faith and morals.
“I don’t want to criticise people who lead lives that are different to mine, but equally I don’t want to divert from the historic teaching of the Catholic church.”
Katherine O’Brien, of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, said: “We are a prochoice country, we have a prochoice Parliament. Rees-Mogg’s stance on abortion is quite simply extreme, and extremely out-of-touch.”
A spokesman for Mrs May said the PM did not agree but it was “a matter of conscience.”
