According to the Washington Times the White House Visitors Office has started a policy requiring the registration of unborn babies before pregnant visitors can be admitted.

The Daily Mail reports the confiscation at a South Korean airport of 17,000 Chinese medicinal capsules which were found to contain the powdered tissue of babies produced after either abortion or miscarriage.

Today several papers reported that BBC Five Live is to interview women and staff in an unnamed abortion clinic next month as part of a two hour programme.

The Irish parliament, Dáil Éireann, voted by 111 to 20 to defeat a pro-abortion bill which would have legalized abortion in Ireland and also sent pro-life protesters to jail.

Irish people at their pro-life best....

The Irish Labour Party has attempted to demonstrate support for legalising abortion via an online poll only to find that they are completely out of touch with the man in the street.

The decision by the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, to investigate abortion clinics urgently following the devastating Daily Telegraph revelations about potential criminal practice, was more than justified and it is total humbug for abortion supporters to criticise his prompt intervention.

The front page of Monday’s Guardian (2/4/12) screamed about a ‘witch-hunt’ against abortion providers.

Doctors may actually be reluctant to perform...

Latest abortion scandal...

Posted on 23 March 2012.

The Health Secretary Andrew Lansley’s promised investigation into practices at abortion clinics has been publicised in today’s press.

Tony Nicklinson wants doctors to be allowed to kill disabled people. The High Court's decision that the case can proceed is very frightening indeed for them. However sympathetic one might be to Mr. Nicklinson, his is a very rare condition. Hard cases do make bad law. The media, especially the BBC, repeatedly show...

The Daily Telegraph has published an article, including a poll on their website. We urge readers to vote.

It is well known that many Asian and Far Eastern societies have a preference for boys over girls. In modern times this has resulted in selective abortion of unwanted girls. Because abortion on grounds of gender is not permitted in the UK, it has in the past been difficult to find hard evidence on whether it is nonetheless happening here...
