Protect babies lives once heartbeat detectable, except in extreme cases

Petition Details

Introduce a bill to protect babies in the womb once a heartbeat is detected. It bans abortion of healthy babies beyond this point, with exceptions for rape, to save the mother’s life, or if the child has a fatal foetal abnormality.

Additional Information

Science makes it clear that the tiny being developing in the womb is genetically and biologically human. In 2022 over 250,000 of these human unborn babies were aborted in the UK. Several studies show abortion can harm women emotionally and physically. Therefore, to protect both mother and baby, we believe it is time we reviewed and reformed our abortion law.
