Went to the annual charity dinner for LIFE this evening. As always, it was good to be able to support this charity through attending a very palatable meal. The work carried out by LIFE and other pro-life charities was made even more poignant after reading an article on the BBC which tells of Gianna Jessen’s survival of an abortion. Considering what she went through, the only way to describe the event was that she had survived an attempted murder! The pro-choice camp say such a thing cannot happen in this country

Pro-choice groups say that while hers is a distressing story it is unusual and that guidelines are in place in the UK to stop live births after abortions.

How is this distressing? This is an amazing story! This girl escaped being murdered! Maybe I’m cynical, but the pro-choice camp even appear to be saying that babies in this country cannot escape being murdered. Whilst I understand a pregnancy will affect a woman’s life enormously, I cannot believe that murdering another human being in order to avoid this momentous event, is justified. (Unless the pregnancy is actually likely to kill the mother).
