Midwives revolt over abortion: Fury as their feminist union chief backs bid to axe ANY time limit on terminations

Horrified midwives are mutinying after their union boss signed them up to an ‘abhorrent’ plan to scrap the time limit on abortions – without asking them.
Cathy Warwick is facing calls to quit as chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) over what critics say is a blatant conflict of interest.
It also flies in the face of calls to actually tighten the 24-week cut-off following advances in medical science that mean more premature babies survive.
Last week, the RCM formally joined the campaign, saying it has the union’s ‘full support’ and adding: ‘The continued criminalisation of abortion in the UK may drive women to access abortion services which are neither safe nor legal.’
But midwives are in open revolt.
As well as leading the nation’s 30,000 midwives, Prof Warwick is chairman of the country’s biggest abortion provider, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS).
Please pray against this terrible developement in Britain! The Midwives were not consulted!
Dear Father please save the unborn children and prevent any escalation in abortions, in Jesus name...
I haven't seen this as a sticky thread, and I thought it could be added if the mods wanted to sticky this.
The topic of abortion has been heavy on my heart the past few days and I wanted to make a place where we could all pray for the unborn children and their mothers, and for the mothers who are considering abortion.
Jeremiah 1:5 HCSB
"I chose you before I formed you in the womb; I set you apart before you were born."
Psalm 127:3 NASB
"Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward."
Job 31:15 NIV
"Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?"
Matthew 19:14 ESV
"But Jesus said, Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."
Lord, I pray for all those who have performed abortions, had an abortion done, are considering having an abortion, or are an abortion survivor. Let their hearts be turned to You in this time, Father. You formed us in our mother's womb. You formed every hair on our head, every freckle, every fingerprint. We are Your intricate creations. I pray for those who feel no guilt or shame of committing such an act, and that they realize what they did was a crime in Your eyes and that they turn to You. I also pray for those who are dealing with the grief and guilt of an abortion, that You may comfort them and forgive them. Amen
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I pray for your peace, and thank you for your words.My heart goes out to you...one day I know you will be reunited with your child, when your work on earth is complete. I lost my son to cancer last year, the Lord is full of forgiveness and mercy, I pray for your ex, that she will come to know the presence and peace of the Lord in her life also. May the Lord bless you richly...
When I was 14, my ex who was 13(was turning 14 however) got pregnant. (I was not Christian or religious at all at the time).
I wanted her to keep have the child, and at first she decided she was going to, not by my influence but by her choices, but her parents came in and invaded her mind telling her it was the right decision to abort. They used to lock her in her room and force her to watch episodes of Dr.Phil that talking about abusive boyfriends, and told her all i was doing in our relationship was manipulating her and told her that I was going to leave her and the baby abandoned. Unless she did things like this, she wasn't allowed going out with friends or anything, and they took her out of school for a bit so she couldn't see me. They used to bribe her for things she "did right" by letting her see me for an hour or so. She saw psychiatrists and "professionals" who would tell her it's all a choice, yet they definitely were laced with pro-abortion themes.
My parents, on the other hand, although obviously not happy, were going to be there for us and told us to make whatever decision seemed right. We were not a poor family, and we were very loving, and the child would have been just fine. My sister had actually just had a baby as well, so there would have been tons of hand-me-downs from that alone, not forgetting that my indirect family would have been very helpful.
She told me she was going to abort, and I told her then to at least give the child to me and have nothing to do with it after if that's what she wanted. She said she didn't want the child to live it's life without a mother, I argued it was better than not living at all. I believe I even told her that giving it up for an adoption was better than her choice, and that I'd be ok even with that although not happy.
I had no say and was helpless, I had to see my child aborted and it was the most emotionally wrenching time in both our lives. She had the abortion, and her mother tried to get me to come that morning to see me child destroyed with the promise that "she'd let me and my ex still be together afterwards and not stop us from seeing each other". I refused to go and she had the abortion.
My child would have been 9 now, and very loved.
Abortion is murder. If your heart doesn't tell you that, I don't know what to tell you. I just know and believe it is. I don't tell this story often, but thought it was right to share here.
I pray for my ex. I hope she knows God is loving and merciful, if she ever does come to believe what she did was wrong, and that I forgive her just by knowing who she was. I believe we'll both see our child in heaven, I believe it with all my heart.
