May Bishop Michael Evans, defender of the unborn, rest in peace

Michael Evans, the Catholic bishop of East Anglia, died earlier this week after a long period with cancer. I wish to put on record my gratitude for Bishop Evans' defence of the unborn when Amnesty International decided to campaign for the decriminalisation of abortion and access to abortion worldwide. Below are some extracts from the statement Bishop Evans issued announcing his decision to leave Amnesty International after 31 years of active membership. May he rest in peace.
"...[O]ur proper indignation regarding pervasive violence against women should not cloud our judgement about our duty to protect the most vulnerable and defenceless form of human life. The International Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, and became a binding treaty for those countries which ratified it. Its Preamble quotes from the 1959 Declaration on the Rights of the Child, that 'the child, by reason of his or her physical and mental immaturity, needs special safeguards and care, including appropriate legal protection, before as well as after birth'. This must surely be part of the body of international human rights law to which Amnesty International is committed.

The Catholic Church shares Amnesty's strong commitment to oppose violence against women (for example, rape, sexual assault and incest), but such appalling violence must not be answered by violence against the most vulnerable and defenceless form of human life in a woman's womb. Catholics would want to show practical compassion for such women, and ensure for them all the medical and spiritual care and support they need. But there is no human right to access to abortion, and Amnesty should not involve itself even in such extreme cases...

To support access to abortion even in dire situations compromises Amnesty's mandate to 'Protect the Human'. In time Amnesty may seek to develop this policy further, but even this current limited decision makes it very difficult for Catholics to remain members of Amnesty or to give it any financial support. Very regretfully, I will be ending my 31 year membership of Amnesty International, which included in the 1980s several years on the British Section Council and its Religious Bodies Liaison Panel...

[Amnesty's] regretable decision will almost certainly divide Amnesty's membership and thereby undermine its vital work. Among all human rights, the right to life is fundamental. Commitment to work to 'Protect the Human' can only be deeply compromised by any support for access to abortion..."

MP tells SPUC meeting: Sanctity of life probably most important aspect of Christianity

myself, Paul Kilbane and Anne Fearon of SPUC Crosby, Joe Benton
Last Friday evening, Joe Benton, Labour MP for Bootle, addressed the annual general meeting (AGM) of SPUC's Crosby branch, held at St. Helen’s Catholic Church. Mr Benton is joint secretary of the All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group (APPPLG).

I was accompanied to the meeting by Anthony McCarthy, SPUC’s newly-appointed Education and Publications Manager.

Mr Benton expressed his horror about aspects of sex and relationships education (SRE) in schools, including in Catholic schools. He spoke eloquently about the sanctity of human life, saying it was probably the most important aspect of our Christian faith. He emphasised his appreciation of SPUC and the support it had offered him in dealing with pro-life issues in Parliament.

Germany is forgetting the lessons of history as it votes for eugenics

On Thursday the German Bundestag (parliament) voted in favour of allowing pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). Reuters reports that Kerstin Janich, a Bavarian woman whose four-year-old son had died of a genetic disease, said:
"It's not about allowing a 'designer baby' with blond hair and blue eyes or a sick child not deserving to live. It's about the suffering of an entire family, for siblings and relatives and friends."
Yet however much defenders of PGD seek to distance themselves from eugenics, PGD is all about stopping human beings suspected of disability from being born, so others can evade their duty of compassion. The word compassion means "to suffer with" (Latin: cum passio), not evading suffering by eliminating the disabled person. Germans must realise that attempting to justify PGD as preventing suffering is not dissimilar to the Nazis' attempts to justify sterilisation, euthanasia and 'racial purity' programmes. Here is a propaganda poster from the Nazi period:

"60000 RM: this is what this person suffering from hereditary defects costs the community of Germans during his lifetime. Fellow citizen, that is your money, too."
There is no difference in the moral status between a one-day old embryo and the oldest of pensioners. So, whatever the attempted justification and whomever the victim, PGD shares with Nazi eugenics basically the same fatal discrimination against the vulnerable, the sick and the disabled. I pray that the German pro-life movement will be strengthened so that Thursday's vote can be reversed at the earliest opportunity.

Watch this very professional video about black US abortions

Our colleagues at Life Issues Institute, through their outreach Protecting Black Life, have launched a very professional new video highlighting how abortion is decimating the black community in the United States. Do watch below, on the Protecting Black Life website or on YouTube. UK readers should note that the abortion rate among UK blacks is higher than for the rest of the community. We must defend the equal right to life and intrinsic dignity of all human beings against the racism which abortion has always facilitated.

Parents furious as schools minister gives green light to explicit sex ed in science lessons

Parents of primary-school children from across the country are furious that Nick Gibb, the schools minister, has told Parliament that schools can teach children, including in primary school, about sex in science lessons (see  below).

Science is a national curriculum subject and therefore parents are not allowed to withdraw their children from science lessons. By contrast, when sex education lessons are given in personal, health, social and economic (PHSE), parents have a legal right to withdraw their children if such lessons are unacceptable to them. PHSE is not part currently of the national curriculum.

Ruth Pond, a mother of two from Worksop, Notts., has been campaigning locally to expose the sexually-explicit classroom teaching programme “Living and Growing”. The most widely-used primary-school sex education resource, it contains graphic material, aimed at children aged seven, which illustrates exactly how to perform sexual intercourse.

Mrs Pond told the media earlier today:
“I am very concerned that sex education can now be taught in science lessons.  Does this mean that the law regarding the national curriculum will be changed to allow parents to withdraw their children from sex education that is too graphic? Otherwise it makes it impossible for parents to protect their children."
Tower Hamlets local authority has already issued a statement saying that parents can withdraw their children from national curriculum science, although there’s no evidence that the Department for Education has approved this. Local parents are still not happy.

Eneque Charles, a mother of three children at Clara Grant primary school in Tower Hamlets, said:
“I have been battling with my children’s school for months because of the 'Living and Growing' DVD. My son was shown a cartoon of a couple having sexual intercourse in his science lesson and I was powerless to shield him from this. The school has now said it will change the materials it is using. But I’m still not confident that I will be able to spare my daughter from seeing explicit sex scenes, despite what Tower Hamlets local authority has said.” 
Mrs Charles and Antonia Tully of SPUC's Safe at School campaign were interviewed yesterday regarding 'Living and Growing' on BBC London radio . Antonia was also interviewed on BBC London TV .

House of Commons written answers, 6 July 2011

Health education: sex

Mr Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will take steps to ensure that maintained schools are prevented from teaching aspects of sex and relationships education in science lessons that are not covered by the national curriculum for science as part of his Department's review of personal, social, health and economic education. [63908]

Mr Gibb [holding answer 5 July 2011]:We trust teachers to use their professional judgement when following the national curriculum programmes of study for science. We do not therefore consider it necessary to impose preventative measures on maintained schools to stop them teaching sex and relationship education (SRE) within national curriculum science lessons. SRE is covered in personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education which will be subject to an internal review.

SPUC's new education manager reviews Channel 4's "The Joy of Teen Sex"

Anthony McCarthy, SPUC's new Education and Publications Manager, has kindly sent me his review of Channel Four's programme "The Joy of Teen Sex". An abridged version of Anthony's review is below, but do read his review in full on the SPUC website.
Review of Channel Four's "The Joy of Teen Sex" by Anthony McCarthy

The title of this series of programmes put out by Channel 4 is instructive. It refers back to Alex Comfort’s multi-million selling book of 1972, "The Joy of Sex: A Gourmet Guide to Lovemaking". The series under discussion follows a number of other ‘sex education’ vehicles put out by Channel 4. More importantly, Channel 4 also produces the widely-used "Living and Growing" schools programme which is shown to primary school children across England (Antonia Tully of SPUC's Safe at School campaign can provide more information about this). This fact should be borne in mind in reading what follows.

Almost the very first thing the programme tells us (episode 1) is that the average teenager has had three sexual partners by the time they reach 16. That message is repeated in the intro of each subsequent programme in the series, together with a blasé clip of a teenager telling viewers he has slept with between 110-120 girls. A letter signed by a number of health professionals and sex educators – many of whom favour early and explicit sex education - draws attention to the inaccuracy of the former claim and cites research indicating that most teens have not had any intercourse before 16. The same professionals also found that the programme “frequently used unreliable statistics to back up points made.” Why has this programme broadcast highly dubious information without citing any research, let alone reputable, research to back it up?

One obvious answer to this question is that misinformation serves ideological purposes: to undermine many people’s belief in traditional sexual morality. Why? Well, the implicit argument is that actual sexual behaviour bears little relation to sexual restrictions and that, therefore, traditional restrictions are unreasonable.

This combination of fraudulent statistics and the idea that if something is prevalent in a society it must therefore be morally right in some sense (right and wrong are somehow ‘empirically determined’ by ‘scientists’) is present throughout "The Joy of Teen Sex". Thus we are told that 80% of people have had sex before their 18th birthday and a boy is shown plaintively asking why it’s never happened to him – a ‘problem’ that therapists, whose qualifications are not mentioned, proceed to ‘treat’. Similar ‘advice’ to teenagers includes jocular talk about doing the ‘fresher’ thing ‘full-on’ (i.e. engaging in promiscuous sex). There are many many more examples that might be given that would further reveal the moral and intellectual standards of the programme.

In short, this programme was unapologetic propaganda for sexual liberation and aimed at a particularly vulnerable group, many of whom would be below the legal age of consent. The letter below indicates that even fervent promoters of sexual liberation are embarrassed by it, not least because it appears to ignore even the health issues that at least some sex educators feel the need to tell teenagers about.

What both groups share is [a lack of] any sensitivity to the nature of sex and the special role sexual ethics needs to play in the life of the young if they are to have fulfilling and virtuous lives. That sex is something that can ‘take life over’ is well-attested to in literature through the ages and its ability to control and to pervade our life means that it must be treated delicately and with proper respect for its dignity. To treat it as something akin to sport is to distort a central element of our lives – the one which allows for intimate conjugal union in self-giving love. "The Joy of Teen Sex" shows no interest in such notions, implicitly mocking them. In doing so Channel 4 betrays young people, again.

SPUC's disability rights division speaks out about latest abortion statistics

Janet Thomas of No Less Human, a group within SPUC which represents disabled people, has kindly sent me her reaction to yesterday's publication by the Department of Health of detailed statistics of abortions performed on the ground of disability:
"No Less Human (SPUC’s disability rights division) sometimes hears from mothers who, after a diagnosis of disability for their unborn children, are put under great psychological pressure to have an abortion. These mothers are not treated with compassion by the medical profession, because they have not made the ‘politically correct’ choice; they suffer greatly for the remainder of their pregnancies. It is not surprising if many women succumb to the pressure to have an abortion. One mother, who spoke to our coordinator Alison Davis, who has spina bifida, told her: 'They told me that my baby has spina bifida, but no-one will tell me what spina bifida is!' Real knowledge of disability and contact with disabled people is not part of the decision-making process once a pregnant woman is given the news of her baby’s disability. In fact, a very black view of the child’s future is usually painted. One of our members was told that her baby would have a head like a banana and would not survive birth. He has now grown up, moved into his own flat and is training for a job."

New abortion figures reveal shocking discrimination against disabled people

Newly-released figures of abortions of disabled babies reveal a shocking level of discrimination against disabled people. The Department of Health, following a legal application by the Pro-Life Alliance, revealed the precise numbers, gestational ages and types of disability of babies aborted between 2002 and 2010. The figures, among other things, revealed that 482 babies reportedly with Down's Syndrome were aborted in 2010 alone. Also released today were figures regarding abortions on teenagers under the age of consent (16), showing that in 2010 alone there were 3,718 abortions among 12- to 15-year-olds.

Anthony Ozimic, SPUC's communications manager, told the media earlier today:
"Between 2001 and 2010, the number of abortions on the ground of disability rose by one-third, 10 times that of abortions generally. It is clear that legal abortion is a system which discriminates, fatally, against the disabled.

Ann Furedi, the leader of the UK pro-abortion lobby, has today praised medics who abort disabled people, and described such abortions as couples 'los[ing]' a pregnancy http://bit.ly/jA3FnX . It is grossly misleading of Ms Furedi to imply that aborted babies are merely 'lost', as one might describe a miscarriage. Abortion is the intentional killing of a unborn child. It is medically unnecessary and ethically unacceptable. SPUC recognizes the profound challenge to couples who receive a diagnosis of disability in their unborn child, but Ann Furedi's comment is extremist.

The figures on teenage abortions reveal the failure of the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy inherited from the Labour government. The government must cut its ties and deny funding to those groups which share responsibility for that failure, most notably Brook and the Family Planning Association."

Biggest-ever All-Ireland Rally for Life holds Irish government to account over abortion law

Pat Buckley, SPUC's man in Ireland, has blogged about the great success of Saturday's All-Ireland Rally for Life in Dublin (see YouTube video below). Official police figures numbered the rally at 8,000 participants, the largest number yet since the rally began 5 years ago. A pro-abortion counter-demonstration only attract a desultory 200 to 300 people. As is so often case regarding other pro-life marches in America and elsewhere, the media both grossly underestimated the pro-life numbers and downplayed the event's significance.

The rally's theme was "Enda, keep your pro-life promise", referring to prime minister Enda Kenny's pre-election promise not to legislate for abortion. Dana Rosemary Scallon, the veteran pro-life politician and friend of SPUC, was one of the keynote speakers, with shouts of "Dana for president" coming from the crowd.

Another of SPUC's Irish friends has alerted me to a radio interview last week (RTE Radio 1, 28 June) with Dr Michael Turner, professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at University College Dublin. The interviewer asked: "So you would say that Ireland is one of the safest places on the planet to have a baby?" Dr Turner replied: "It is, I’m pleased to report", describing it as "a tribute to the excellent care" provided in Irish hospitals. This is proof-positive that abortion is totally unnecessary for good maternal healthcare.

Abortion ads plans show devious and sleazy agenda

From "Mad Men"
Proposals to allow explicit abortion adverts expose the devious and sleazy agenda of the advertising industry.

SPUC was responding to a report in The Telegraph that the Broadcast Committee of Advertising Practice (BCAP) proposes to allow commercial abortion providers to advertise on TV and radio.

Paul Tully, SPUC's general secretary, told the media this morning:
“These new proposals to allow abortion commercials will cause many people bewilderment. Less than two years ago, the code of practice was reviewed, and a wide public consultation was held. A huge majority of people objected to changing the code to allow abortion adverts. So the code was not changed.

“Then last year, with the revised code in force, the first TV advert for abortion was allowed anyway. The advert cleverly avoided mention of abortion. It was all done by implication. It depicted a young woman worried about her period being late. The advert asked: "Who can help her?" and the answer was a so-called pregnancy advice ‘charity’ that runs a lucrative chain of abortion clinics.

“People complained that advertising abortion in this way was illegal, indecent, dishonest and untruthful, but the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) approved the adverts anyway. The ASA has a long pro-abortion track record.

“The advertising industry is displaying a bias to support the devious and sleazy agenda of abortion providers, who have ideological and commercial interests in promoting abortion.

“There is a simple answer to this situation. Jeremy Hunt, the culture secretary, has specific powers under the Communications Act to tell Ofcom, the official regulator, to ban these adverts. He should do so".

Polish pro-lifers are showing the way forward for Europe

Sejm
Pat Buckley, SPUC's intrepid international lobbyist, has blogged yesterday's great news that the Sejm, Poland's legislature, has given the go-ahead for a bill seeking to ban all abortions. Following a national petition signed by 600,000, Polish MPs voted 254 to 151 to allow the proposal to proceed to the next stage of an extraordinary committee.

This success shows what can be achieved when clergy, politicians, professionals and ordinary lay people come together behind a truly pro-life campaign.

SPUC is motivating parents to challenge explicit sex education in schools

On Wednesday night (29 June) a larger-than-expected audience of over 150 fathers and mothers came to the London Muslim Centre to hear Antonia Tully of SPUC's Safe at School campaign speak to them about how sexually-explicit sex education materials are being used in local primary schools. Antonia showed a clip from "Living and Growing", the Channel Four video series which uses cartoons to depict sexual intercourse, giving examples of various sexual positions.

Sharing a platform with Antonia was Yusuf Patel, the chief executive of SREIslamic, who exposed how myths about sex and relationships education (SRE) are being used to prevent parents knowing their rights and protecting their children.

The meeting was also briefly addressed by Councillor Ollur Rahman of Tower Hamlets Council, the council's cabinet minister with special responsibility for children's services. He assured the meeting that he supported the parents' concerns about sex education in Tower Hamlets schools.

The meeting was a great success, with parents and others very interested and motivated to use the knowledge imparted to ensure that local schools respect parents' rights and remove anti-family material from the curriculum. The audience were given a list of action points, which I include below as a model for parents in other parts of the country. For more information about the meeting, do read the reports in the East London Advertiser before and after the meeting. Antonia also gave an interview before the meeting to SPUC's friends at Premier Christian Radio.

Action points for parents

1. Contact your child’s school to read the policy on sex and relationships education (SRE):
  • find out what resources are being used.
  • request that all parents are given plenty of opportunity to view all the materials.
  • approach the school in a spirit of co-operation – wanting to work with the school for the benefit of all the children.
For more information visit: http://www.spuc.org.uk/campaigns/safeatschool/

2. Write to your Local Authority: [e.g. Tower Hamlets Council, Town Hall, Mulberry Place, 5 Clove Crescent, E14 2BG].

3. Write to your MP at: [Name of MP], House of Commons, London SW1A 0AA.

4. Write to the Secretary of State for Education: Department for Education, Castle View House, East Lane, Runcorn, Cheshire, WA7 2GJ.

5. Contact campaign groups for support, advice and help:
6. Collect signatures for the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) nationwide petition entitled: “Give Children Back their Childhood.” For more petition forms and leaflets call SPUC on: (020) 7091 7091.

7. Workshop for parents: Safe at School and SREIslamic are offering workshops for parents to equip them to act effectively in protecting their children from inappropriate SRE. If you are interested please call:
  • Antonia on 020 8407 3463
  • Yusuf on 0788 302 7067
