News in Brief

  • Abortion facility to close

    Christian Concern / Daily Telegraph

    On July 21 it was reported that an undisclosed abortion facility is to close as a result of pro-life campaigning. The move has been described by Britain's largest private abortion provider BPAS as a ‘first in the UK’.

    Despite posting the news, BPAS refuses to name the clinic. It denies ownership of the clinic in question. A June 22 Early Day Motion (EDM 162), sponsored by Diane Abbott MP, cites news of the closure and also suggests other clinics have been prevented from opening as a result of ‘local fears about anti-abortion activity’.

  • Porn regulation

    New polling over 10 –12 July for social policy charity CARE (Christian Action Research and Education) demonstrates strong public support for the government’s commitment to regulate all websites with pornographic content.

    74% of the public believe the UK Government should require sites that provide porn to the UK – regardless of whether or not they are actually located in the UK – to put in place age verification checks. A further 73% also said that age verification should apply to 18 as well as R18-rated films
