Wow:
LONDON, August 26, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Crisis pregnancy centres, as well as doctors, nurses and midwives, may be subject to prosecution and a two-year jail sentence if they convince a woman to forego an abortion. Under a proposed amendment to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, those groups advertising services to pregnant women who provide “false information” or even information that is “factually correct” that convinces a woman to change her mind about abortion, will have committed an offense.
Tabled by one of David Cameron’s Tory MPs, John Bercow, the amendment says, “It shall be an offence to deliberately mislead through advertising in relation to the termination of pregnancy and alternatives thereto.” Bercow has recently gone on record in support of an effort to bring explicit “sex-education” to six-year-old children in mandatory school curriculums.
The amendment continues, “Any person, association or body corporate shall be guilty of an offence” if they provide “material which … contains false information and is untruthful … or in its overall presentation deceives or is in any way likely to deceive the average person…even if the information is factually correct”.
An offense will have been committed if the information given “causes or is likely to cause the average pregnant woman to take a decision in relation to the termination of her pregnancy she would not have taken otherwise.”
This can’t be true, can it?








Upon reading the proposed UK legislation, Orwellian is a term that comes to mind. I can hardly believe that this would ever pass. But, if it did, I would pity the prosecutor charged with the task of prosecuting “offences” under this section. Mostly, for being put into the position of thought police. But also, on account of the wording of the section. It’s an offence to make a statement which is “factually correct”, but which is “in any way likely to deceive the average person”… ? What does this cover? Handing out a picture of a baby in utero? Saying that the heart is beating? What about that quote from Juno – “it has fingernails”?
Yes the thought police are very busy these days. Imagine that we live in a world and at a time in human history where saving an unborn baby child from an abortion is subject to prosecution and a two-year jail sentence.
Welcome to the twilight zone where everything and anything is possible even though it makes no human logic or sense.
“Bercow has recently gone on record in support of an effort to bring explicit “sex-education” to six-year-old children in mandatory school curriculums.”
Now, that’s just a lie. I know the proposal – it’s part of the same curriculum as sex ed, but the course intended for six year olds wouldn’t involve any real sex ed at all.
