Bringing the British Abortion Debate to Life

While discussing Dobbs, Tory MP Danny Kruger expressed the basic pro-life position in the British House of Commons. He said: “[Other MPs] think that women have an absolute right of bodily autonomy in this matter, whereas I think in the case of abortion that right is qualified by the fact that another body is involved.” This position is virtually unexpressed in British politics, as you can tell from the other MPs’ reactions. However, as Kruger points out — it ought to be. Whichever side of the issue one comes down on, abortion is a serious moral question deserving of equally serious debate.
