No to Conscience Vote! No to Legalizing Abortion in Jamaica!

The Human Resource and Social Development Committee reviewed the laws regarding abortion in Jamaica and has recommended that the Parliament should have a conscience vote to allow or continue to stop abortions in Jamaica. 

A conscience vote on abortion, means members of Parliament would decide whether or not unborn babies should be killed, and are not required to say whether or not they voted for abortion.

Every politician has a worldview, and a perspective on abortion that may not be in line with the people of Jamaica. The RJR-Gleaner Don Anderson poll of 2019 showed that more than 75% of Jamaicans oppose the legalization of abortion. We know that the conscience of some men and women have been seared, and are no longer working as they should. 

We refuse to leave this extremely important issue to chance and an anonymous vote.  We note that only 11 out of 61 MP's were assigned to this committee and  7 of these 11 MP's were absent for more than half of the presentations to the committee.

We petition with one voice, the Prime Minister of Jamaica, the Honourable Andrew Holness and every Member of the Jamaican Parliament:

1. Say No to a Conscience Vote! We want transparency and accountability!

2. Say no to the legalization of abortion in Jamaica! As former fetuses we oppose the killing of the unborn.

3. Let the people decide by referendum any changes to be made! Let our voices be heard! 

Prime Minister Holness, in December 2017 at the National Day of Prayer and Repentance, prayed for forgiveness on behalf of the nation for sins committed against the unborn. Now we petition you to protect the lives of countless, innocent, unborn Jamaican children. 

 

For life,

 

Formerly Unborn Jamaicans
