Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 March 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

The clause will bring suffering and misery to many mothers and babies. Tiny lives will be ended in the most cruel and painful way for sentient babies, although they would be protected if they were born naturally, and their mothers’ health will be in grave danger. In having an abortion, perhaps at home or without support, they may, like Carla Foster, suffer remorse and be haunted for ever by seeing their tiny, dead baby; Carla called hers Lily.
