The Tory MP has described abortion as a “cult of death” in a parliamentary debate. Here’s why his words are so wrong (and dangerous).
“I think the destruction of life is wrong,” he said in parliament. “I do not believe that we should say that a new life should be destroyed. I do not believe that that is the right of the state.”
Rejecting the petition, Rees-Mogg added that it was “wrong constitutionally” and “much more wrong morally” because to add abortion to the Bill of Rights “prefers death to life”. – the termination of a foetus using medication or, in some cases, surgery. In the UK, abortions are typically carried out before the pregnancy reaches 24 weeks, except in very limited circumstances . That’s it. There’s no massive ‘destruction’ or horrific dismembering. It is healthcare. And it is vital.Secondly, the idea that abortion is a cult of death is, quite frankly, laughable.
