The controversial Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (HFE Bill) is reaching the final stages of its journey through the British Houses of Parliament. The next stage will be the readings of the Bill in the House of Commons, if the Bill is successful then it will be enacted in law. God help England if it comes to this, which at the time of writing looks likely.
Whilst the current HFE Act made law in 1990, allowing for abortion to full term for disabled babies amongst other heinous clauses, is preposterous and completely contravenes Catholic moral codes, this new version is, if it is possible , far worse. Consider this; the new HFE Bill will allow for animal-human hybrid embryos to be created for experimentation, this alone makes it possibly the worst piece of legislation imaginable. The government intends by this bill to redefine humanity and allow the creation of monsters. We know that parliament literally has not the power to do this, because it cannot alter Gods law and make something that which it is not, however these Frankensteins will assert their perverse desires and we will see the consequences soon enough.
Further horrors include the concept of “saviour siblings” being legitimised. That is children “created” via IVF deliberately to conform with the DNA another sick child of the family so that the “saviour Sibling” can be a donor for the sick child. Also the definition of family will be altered, dismissing the idea that a father is required and therefore allowing for lesbians to obtain IVF treatment. Abortion fanatics will press for amendments to include nurses being given licence to carry out abortions and the removal of the two doctor signature, so that abortions become as easy to obtain and sweets.
And for the Irish……..
But, for Ireland, there is another very sinister and terrible threat inherent in this Bill. The extension of the 1967 Abortion Act to the North of Ireland. Although this is not yet written into the draft Bill, abortion promoter Evan Harris MP (LIB) has said he and others intend to table an amendment in the Commons to use this Bill as a vehicle to extend the Abortion Act and enforce it in the North. Harris is so prolific in his anti life views that even his friends call him “Dr Death”. Having qualified as a doctor shortly before he went into politics he chaired the Committee on the HFE Bill, ensuring that all views against the vile legislation were treated with contempt. The fact that he is in a “relationship” with the secretary for the biggest abortion provider in Britain, BPAS, didn’t concern the government , who considered that this would not at all colour his view of the task of chairing the Committee. Harris has previously called the fact that the North of Ireland does not have “equal access” to abortion (as Britain, I suppose) “disgraceful”! Harris is indeed the Robespierre of this particular revolution, shunned and despised by even his own colleagues who see him as a “loner“ , a hater of Catholics and a virulent pro abort. He will one day, as we all will, stand before the Court of Christ the King, but for now he is the embodiment of the enemy and is poised to launch an attack on our children.
The Catholics…..
One gladdening sight which has come from all this is to see the Catholic Cardinal O’Brien of Scotland turn roundly on this Bill, denouncing it and clearly stating that Catholic MPs must resist and vote against such monstrous legislation. 12 Catholic Labour MPs threatened to resign if the Prime Minister would not allow them to vote against the anti Catholic clauses in the Bill. As this is a government Bill no free vote was being allowed, thus requiring all MPs to vote in favour. First Paul Murphy, then two other cabinet ministers said they would resign if not given a free vote, then 9 other Labour Catholic MPs also joined the fray. On Easter Sunday the Cardinal gave out a clear message against this Bill, on Monday the British Prime Minister started a climb down from his previous position of no free vote on conscience matters to allowing a free vote at the first reading. His insisted however that the free vote would not be extended to the second and third readings, and this has already been rejected as an unacceptable compromise. But see the power of a Cardinal! Even weakened by 40 years of liberal Catholicism, and still the Grace he has from God, when he speaks Catholic truth, is sufficient to cower the Prime Minister. Hopefully the Catholics who have so far made this stance (and it is only the Catholic view which has out rightly challenged this Bill) will retain their courage and fight this matter further, if they will lead in this it is sure that others will follow.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Conner has also spoken against the Bill following Cardinal O’Brien’s lead. We have yet to hear from Cardinal Brady.
The Protestants………
Mr Ian Paisley asked the question of Gordon Brown on the 26th March 2008 in Westminster,
“Would the Prime Minister give to the people of Northern Ireland the assurance today that the Government will not countenance supporting any attempt to use the embryo Bill to legalise abortion in Northern Ireland through back-door legislation, keeping in mind that all parties in Northern Ireland are opposed to this? Surely that decision should be made by Stormont, and Stormont alone.”
Gordon Brown answered;
“The matter of an amendment on abortion to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill is a matter for this House. I do not believe that the House will wish to change its mind on these issues, but that is a matter of a free vote of the House of Commons.”
Thus confirming our worst fears, that the Stormont parliament will be ignored on this issue, despite the recent debate in October of 2007 rejecting any liberalisation of abortion in the North of Ireland.
The DUP has on their website: “I and my party believe in the rights of the unborn child. We will resist any and all attempts to introduce a liberalised abortion regime here.” (Paisley)
And Dame Nuala O’Loan…….
Catholic lawyer, Dame Nuala O’Loan, who recently retired from the post of Police Ombudsman, publicly and vociferously lent her voice to the debate over the HFE Bill and its threat to Ireland. She stated in The Irish Catholic “Human life is sacred. To create it in order to use it for research purposes and then destroy it must be anathema to any society which claims to value society”. She also warned the British government against forcing abortion on the North and warned the Irish that this would indeed be the case if this Bill were allowed, and also called for the Prime Minister to allow free votes for Catholic MPs. Her intercession in the debate caused the matter to be publicised in other media, which to date has tried to keep the matter of abortion out of the limelight.
What can we do?
It is no coincidence that the Motu Proprio was released and then a Cardinal finds his voice! Pray the Rosary and attend Mass, Catholic graces are all that can really affect this situation. Remember, as Pope St Pius x said, “All the strength of Satan’s reign is due to the easygoing weakness of Catholics”
We must in any case resort to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart because, even if the abortion amendment fails, the main act will still be enforced on the North, where no doubt there will be some who will dabble with the animal -people embryos.
And know this, the abortionists have tried every subtle way to press abortion on the Irish people of the North, and it has been vomited back at them from the belly of the people every time, force is their last resort.

This is the last portrait of the Madonna and Child acomplished by Bellini. This subject was his particular favourite as can be seen in the tenderness apparent from the painting.
