Democratic Unionist Party — Upper Bann

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2025

Debate

Decriminalising Abortion

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making a very powerful point. In contrast, human rights laws grant protection to the unborn. The preamble to the UN convention on the rights of the child, to which the UK is a signatory, states that the child “needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth”. Does he agree with me that in every case both lives matter?
