MUSLIM RESPONSE("AMENDMENT") TO DORRIES-FIELD's
AMENDMENT OF THE HEALTH BILL
We would like to give
a Muslim response to the amendment of Dorries-Field amendment of the
Health Bill(Health and Social Care Bill), which was orginally submitted by Mrs
Nadine Dorries MP/Conservative and the Rt Hon Frank Field MP/Labour and which
will be debated in the Parliament this week;
The aim of the amendment is to offer
independent counsellors for some interested women who are pregnant and
considering abortion,hoping this offer of counselling will prevent 60 000
abortions/year.
No doubt,we all support any effective
measure which does reduce the high number of abortions in our society.
This Muslim response we are giving
now,should be applied to the case of abortion generally, and whether there is a
Bill in the Parliament or not?
But
before giving our response,please allow us to present first these
worrying facts:
-Every year about 200
000 innocent voiceless unborn babies are KILLED through abortion...600/day,for
no fault of their own.. and the number unfortunately is rising.
-Most abortions
are done because it is legal to kill unborn children and
because of social and immoral reasons like: sex before
or outside marriage?
-96% of abortions are
done from the funding of NHS
-More women are
suffering lately from many types of mental disorders as a result of
abortion,apart from breast cancer.
-Marie Stopes clinics
and British Pregnancy Advisory Service had a profit of £60 million
from the termination of 100 000 pregnancies,SURELY THEY HAVE VESTED
INTEREST IN DOING MORE ABORTIONS FOR MORE PROFITS AND THEIR SO
CALLED "COUNSELLING" must be biased and towards the facilitation
of more abortion for more profits!
It is fair to say that
they are the wrong people to offer any counselling at all!
We would like to
emphasize here that we all are having concerns and worries if the amendments of
the Health Bill
will lead to the
appointment by the Dept of Health of more biased pro-abortion
counsellors, with the marginalisation of many caring Pro-life or religious
counsellors?
Unfortunately we seem
to forget that In every abortion, we did not take into
consideration at all :
*GOD the
Creator the Designer and the only Owner of the life of the
unborn child(this is a Christian-Muslim belief)
*The human
basic RIGHT of the unborn child : the RIGHT TO LIFE
*The father of
the unborn child? no body bothers to find out his opinion..
*The huge
financial bill ,and the wastage of a lot of medical resources in an
already "squeezed overstretched NHS" ?
This bill is very high
and is enormous ,especially since the "abortion Act in
1967" came into existence.
Since then about
7-8 million unborn children were killed through abortion!
WE BRITISH MUSLIMS(as
well as many millions of Christians,Jews,Hindus,Sikhs and
others...),OPPOSE AND RESENT STRONGLY,THIS GROSS "criminal"
ABUSE OF OUR TAX PAYERS MONEY in these increasing "KILLING
FIELDS" of our innocent voiceless unborn children and in the treatment
after of many women who develop many psychological and physical diseases and
problems!
There is no doubt
today that almost all girls and women who are considering or going for
abortion,ARE NOT AWARE AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF A LOT OF BASIC AND
ESSENTIAL NEEDED PACK OF INFORMATIONS BEFORE THEY TAKE
ANY DECISION REGARDING THEIR PREGNANCIES:
-The EMBRYOLOGICAL
FACTS about the formation of the different organs and the development of
the Embryo/Foetus and that at about 6 weeks pregnancy ,we have a small
human being with almost all organs formed.
The heart starts
to beat at 23 days from conception...
They should
SEE/know all these basic fascinating anatomical and
physiological facts which are related to their babies(photos/videos
and 3D scan)
-The CRUEL AND
BARBARIC method used in the abortion procedure:in blood,pain and
agony,with the cutting of live human baby to 20-30 pieces!
Every woman should
know/see that before taking any decision...Would she likes to kill her own
flesh and blood/baby in this inhumane way?
-The MEDICAL
DATAS regarding the many short term and the long term complications
and side effects which result from abortion ,especially as found
lately in mental health and breast cancer!
-The availability
of MANY TYPES OF SUPPORT while carrying on with the pregnancy.
-The presence of many
ALTERNATIVES like: adoption...
-The RELIGIOUS HOLY
SCRIPTURES regarding: GOD's right,Sanctity of life/killing ,the
creation and the wonderful development of the unborn child, the high valued of
motherhood,the SIN in consenting for abortion and the
punishment prescribed.
But this should be done
only if the woman is interested to know these
religious informations and to be given according to her own religion
and religious beliefs.
For us,Muslims we have
a lot of religious datas on:conception,the
embryo,foetus,embryology,soul,sanctity of life,motherhood with the prohibition
of abortion .
Can our "Christian
people and women " and our "Christian
Government/Monarchy", BE TRUE CHRISTIANS ,for GOD's sake ,at least
once in this most serious matter :the ending of human
lives and the death of millions of innocent unborn children!
-The presence of
helpful COUNSELLORS in Britain who will help women to
take a WELL INFORMED decision after.
Every girl/woman
deserves and have the right for a FULL AND WELL INFORMED CONSENT by
providing first these basic PACK OF INFORMATIONS ,before she decides
about what to do with her pregnancy.
EVERY GIRL/WOMAN IS
ENTITLED AFTER TO HER RIGHT TO CHOOSE WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE OR
COMPULSION.
THIS IS OUR MUSLIM RESPONSE AND OUR PROPOSED
"AMENDMENT" TO THE AMENDED HEALTH BILL!: THE PROVISION FIRST OF
THIS PACK OF INFORMATIONS: THE SURVIVAL PACK!
The Dept of Health with
the help of hundred organisations/NGOs in the UK,should organise together the
spreading of these vital and basic PACK of informations to every gill/woman
in the land.
ENOUGH "COVER
UP"...ENOUGH KEEPING WOMEN IN "THE DARK"... AND ENOUGH
MORE KILLING!
In fact,This PACK OF
INFORMATIONS should be given to our daughters at home and in
schools ,in order to work on the PREVENTION of most unwanted
pregnancies for:
-The sake of the woman
herself
-The sake of the life
of the innocent unborn child
-The sake of our
economy,budget,the tightened medical resources and NHS
- And most important
for the sake of GOD,JESUS,MOSES AND MUHAMMAD(peace be upon them) who all are
PRO-LIFE,as the case in all the religions.
This missing PACK OF
INFORMATIONS,will prevent not only 60 000 abortions..but 160 000
abortions/year.
No doubt the issue of
Abstinence/chastity needs to be addressed too,for the prevention of 2/3 of
unwanted pregnancies.
Finally : in order to
help in MAKING MANY PREGNANT WOMEN VERY MUCH AWARE OF THEIR OWN
BABIES,and before taking any decision regarding the pregnancy,I would recommend
strongly the establishment
of a place in London
,open to public , FOR A FREE SAFE 3D SCAN to any woman
considering abortion under :
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE
YOUR BABY? ..because SEEING IS BELIEVING!
In order to start the
ball rolling,I would like to donate myself,from my own money, the
first £1000 for this Humane Healthy and Economic project .
More voluntary
donations will be needed in order to buy the machine.
All should donate
for this good humane cause
Obviously Many of
these free scans should be made easily available to some
pregnant women in GP surgeries,hospitals,counselling centres etc...
