Group Promotes Pro-Abortion Christmas Cards: Peace, Love and Killing Your Babies

Pro-abortion campaign group, Doctors for Choice UK, has launched a Christmas fundraising campaign, selling Christmas cards promoting ‘DIY’ at-home abortion.

Proceeds from sales go to the work of Doctors for Choice UK which campaign for the “full decriminalization of abortion across the UK” and to “encourage a sincere commitment to abortion”. The full decriminalization of abortion means that abortion is available on demand, for any reason, until birth. The maximum time limit will be completely removed.

One of the cards for sale depicts mistletoe, where the berries have been replaced by images of pills. Underneath it is written ‘Ho Ho Home use’, and the message inside said “Peace, love and pills in the post”. Another card shows a picture of a smiling Father Christmas with the tagline “make choice great again” written on his hat.

“Peace, love and pills in the post”

Referencing “post pills” are the ‘DIY’ home abortion methods that now allow ending life by abortion up to 10 weeks outside of a clinical setting.

Abortion provisions allowing abortion pills to be taken outside a clinical setting were introduced at the end of March 2020 as part of the Government’s response to COVID-19. While it is intended to be a temporary measureThe Westminster Parliament made ‘DIY’ at-home abortion a permanent feature of the law in March 2022.

The President of Doctors for Choice shares disturbing insights

This is not the first time there has been controversy associated with Doctors for Choice UK. The president of the pro-abortion group, Professor Wendy Savage, has previously made headlines.

At one point, he seemed to have argued that since “babies die every week”, it’s ok to “perform an abortion that leads to the death of a baby”, in this case referring to a baby aborted at least 32 weeks gestation, at least 8 weeks after the 24 week time limit for UK abortions.

In 2017, he made headlines following a interview with The Mail on Sunday where he expressed full support for sex-selective abortion. He said “If a woman does not want to have a fetus of one gender or another, she is forced [to go through with the pregnancy] will not be good for the future child.”

Women and babies at risk from pills through post ‘DIY’ home abortions

Data from several freedom of information (FOI) requests gives an indication of the likely true extent of complications arising from ‘DIY’ abortions.

A series of FOI requests in 2021 suggested that more than 10,000 women need to receive hospital treatment following the use of medical abortion pills in England between April 2020 and September 2021.

According to data collected from 85 Freedom of Information requests to NHS Trusts across England, the data suggests that more than 1 in 17 women who have had a medical abortion in an 18-month period require hospital treatment.

Escalating an ambulance call

Last year, following an FOI request to ambulance trusts in England, GB News found there has been a significant increase in the number of women calling 999 in relation to abortion pills taken at home and an increase in ambulance dispatches.

They found that the number of abortion-related call-outs increased in London from 93 in 2019 to 150 in 2020, a 61% increase; and in the South West, from 33 in 2019 to 74 in 2020, a 124% increase.

The ambulance trust which responded to FOI from GB News “shows a significant increase in the number of 999 calls from people who are concerned after taking abortion pills”. According to GB newsSouth East Coast Ambulance Service has seen a 34% increase in 999 calls “from people who are concerned after taking abortion pills” from 2019 to 2020.

The “disappointing” cards value the lives lost to abortion

Right To Life UK spokeswoman, Catherine Robinson, said: “These unsavory Christmas cards trivialize a very serious matter by celebrating home-access to abortion pills ending the lives of unborn babies.”

“Doctors for Choice UK is a group of medical professionals who should be committed to the best care of their patients, born and unborn, rather than making light of the practice”.

“Christmas is a time when we should support the most vulnerable instead of raising funds to promote access to abortion pills, which end the lives of vulnerable unborn children.”
