Grassroots campaigning and education - We now have a very large grassroots pro-life network consisting of tens of thousands of engaged people like you in constituencies throughout the UK, but to ensure there are more people actively spreading the pro-life message in communities, we are working towards a vast increase in the number of people who are part of our network of campaigners around the country.This initiative is targeting three key areas: To prevent this shift and reach millions more people with the pro-life message, we are running a major nationwide culture-change initiative. We are currently facing a major onslaught from the pro-abortion lobby, who are attempting to use the overturning of Roe v Wade in the US to create a negative culture shift in the public’s position on abortion. A foreword to the current guidance states: “This document has been put together by a team of national experts with technical assistance from Ipas and WHO, Geneva.” The involvement of Ipas in writing Ghana’s abortion guidance has not been hidden or obscured. This has, in practice, allowed abortion to take place de factor on-demand.

While the language sounds restrictive, Ipas assisted guidance instructs healthcare professionals to take a very broad interpretation of the wording. This guidance outlines how they can interpret language in the new legislation to allow for abortion on demand.įor example, this model can be seen in operation in Ghana, where the legislation relating to abortion includes what appears to be restrictive grounds for abortion “where the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk to the life of the pregnant woman or injury to her physical or mental health”. In this position as a key adviser, the organisation produces comprehensive guidance for the respective Government and healthcare providers.

They then place themselves as key advisers on the roll-out of the new abortion service, including advising on associated standards and protocols across the country. This model firstly involves international organisations lobbying Governments to introduce new legislation, as they are currently doing in Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Namibia, and likely other countries across Africa. The international abortion group and other organisations are attempting to use a legislation change model which, in practice, introduces de facto abortion-on-demand, right up to birth. How international organisations are pushing for abortion law change The proposals will also allow children to procure an abortion without parental consent and could result in doctors who don’t want to be involved in an abortion procedure, or provide a referral, receiving five-year prison sentences. However, unlike the UK’s 24-week limit, Malawi’s Termination of Pregnancy Bill has no time limit attached to the clause allowing abortion on mental health grounds and would effectively allow de facto abortion on-demand, up-to-birth. The group noted that 98% of the UK’s abortions take place under equally permissive language. Malawi’s Christian Medical and Dental Fellowship expressed ‘grave concern’ after a similarly worded bill was introduced in 2016, stating it “has led other countries to effectively practice abortion on demand”. While this language appears to provide abortion on only narrow grounds, in practice it will likely allow for de facto abortion on demand to be allowed in Malawi through a broad interpretation of the term “health”. The Termination of Pregnancy Bill outlines that abortion would be available without a time limit on grounds that “the termination of pregnancy is necessary to prevent injury to the physical or mental health of a pregnant woman”.
