Stop decriminalisation of self-performed abortions from 24 weeks to 9 months (full term)
Stop decriminalisation of self-performed abortions from 24 weeks to 9 months (full term)
Why this petition matters
Shortly, the States of Guernsey will debate a request to reconsider The Abortion (Guernsey) (Amendment) Law, 2021, before implementation.
One element of that Law is decriminalising a woman aborting or attempting to abort her own pregnancy.
Decriminalising self-abortion for the entire gestation period from inception until birth (40 weeks / 9 months gestation) means that a mother can deliberately abort a healthy 'survivable child' at any time right up to and during the contractions just before birth. The 'survivable unborn child' has no protection under the Law. There will be no legal sanction to levy against the mother for this action; it will be completely legal.
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU SUPPORT ABORTION OR NOT
Is this is acceptable under our community's values, morals, and ethics?
At what point should we protect the interests of the innocent unborn survivable child?
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION IF YOU AGREE WE MUST GIVE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS LAW MORE CONSIDERATION
