Abortiondrugs

One of the plethora of government-funded feminist groups in Scotland, Engender, is defending the decision to allow abortion drugs to be taken at home. That’s a matter of medical responsibility and I hope that sound judgment is not clouded by activism.

Let’s remember, though, that Engender is busy using our hard-earned cash to campaign for the total decriminalisation of abortion, entailing the removal of the current 24-week limit.

Even if it is not accepted that life begins and has inherent value at conception, surely most are repulsed by the killing of babies who could otherwise survive and develop healthily if delivered at that time.

Constantly viewing the world through the lens of gender power struggle can distort one’s perspective, but I am happy to debate with such feminists. But I am not happy to be paying them to do it.
