BRASS NECK BABY KILLERS

Labour's Andy MacNae and Michelle Welsh

Last week was 'Baby Loss Awareness Week', which has been held in the UK for more than 20 years.  To coincide with the event, a debate on baby loss was held in the House of Commons last Monday.

Opening the debate was its co-sponsor, the member for Rossendale and Darwen - Andy MacNae.  During his almost 15 minute speech, the Labour MP detailed the tragic death of his own baby daughter who passed away just five days into her life.

MacNae was followed later by another co-sponsor of the debate, the Labour member for Sherwood Forest.  Michelle Welsh launched into a tirade against healthcare professionals who she accused of treating her with 'utter contempt' during the birth of her son.  A verbal assault on the saintly NHS is not something one would normally associate with the socialists, but Michelle clearly wanted to show she had skin in the game.

Welsh was followed by her Labour comrade Luke Charters (York Outer), who described her as an 'inspirational mum'.  Various MPs joined the debate, including Labour's Fleur Anderson (Putney), Sharon Hodgson (Washington and Gateshead South), Jess Asato (Lowestoft), Olivia Blake (Sheffield Hallam), Richard Burgon (Leeds East), Nadia Whittome (Nottingham East), Samantha Niblett (South Derbyshire), Lizzi Collinge (Morecambe and Lunesdale), Sarah Smith (Hyndburn), Bell Ribeiro-Addy (Clapham and Brixton Hill), Amanda Hack (North West Leicestershire), Jo White (Bassetlaw), Adam Thompson (Erewash), Amanda Martin (Portsmouth North), Dave Robertson (Lichfield) and Sean Woodcock (Banbury).

Now all these MPs have something in common - asides from the despicable party to which they belong - they all voted in favour of a certain amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill four months ago.  Yes, that's right, despite all their posturing and hand-wringing about the lost lives of babies - each and every one of them voted FOR the decriminalisation of abortion up to birth.

The two Labour co-sponsors of this three hour debate voted to kill babies.  Their 17 party comrades who spoke during the debate voted to kill babies.  MacNae voted to legalise the murder of children five days younger than his own departed child.  Please spare us your crocodile tears.
