What a sad day it is now that these figures have been produced. There were 214,869 babies killed by abortion in England and Wales in the year 2021*. What a contrast to the 23,332 from April to December 1968 when the killings began, and 49,829 in 1969, the first full year that the killing of our unborn occurred legally.
We were promised that the women seeking an abortion would be few in number as they were those who primarily already had a large family and the 1967 Abortion Act was brought in to stop the back street abortions where it was claimed that thousands were dying from lack of proper care. Now we have abortion on demand and the majority of these will be women who are not married and do not already have children, with many women having more than one abortion. The use of medical abortion over surgical abortion has made it more easy to access this facility to destroy ever younger unborn children.
And even more sadly, since March 2020 we have more or less reverted to ‘back street abortion’ conditions as many women are now accessing both abortion medications, mifepristone and misoprostol, at home, without the need to first attend a hospital or clinic. This was temporarily approved by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to limit the transmission of coronavirus (COVID-19) from 30 March 2020 and by the Welsh government’s Minister for Health and Social Services from 31 March 2020.
On 30 March 2022, Parliament voted in favour of an amendment to the Health and Care Bill, making the temporary approval allowing home use of both pills for early medical abortions permanent in England and Wales. These provisions will supersede the arrangements made permanent in Wales in February 2022.*
How many women are now dying from lack of care due to these provisions? Why have we been and still are so keen to kill our future generations? Including Scottish figures, we have now killed 9,850,892 babies in the UK. This figure is rising daily. We have probably now reached 10,000,000 (ten million) as this article is being written on 21 June 2022, so we are already half way through the year.
Children are a blessing from the Lord. We will each have to stand before Him one day soon when our life books will be open and we will then see with what disregard we gave to the unborn and their mothers. But it will be too late to do anything about it. We need to confess our sins now, all of them; sins of commission and sins of omission before the Lord Jesus returns for His redeemed, otherwise we will not be among those who rise up to meet Him in the air, but rather remain in the ground until the second resurrection, after the thousand years of the redeemed being in heaven judging those who didn’t repent and confess their sins. Then those who are in the second resurrection who will have already been found guilty will be punished by fire coming down from heaven and burning them up until they are no more, only ashes. Satan and sin will finally be destroyed.
What is your response to the killing of the unborn? Will you pray for the Lord Jesus to reveal to you what you need do to get right with Him? Will you speak out against the constant killing?
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20
