Archbishop of Canterbury Calls for Tighter Aborton Laws

Archbishop Rowan Williams has called for tighter abortion laws as he signalled a tougher stance on moral issues by the Church of England. He said that Britain was a 'broken society' that could be fixed only with urgent action by the Government and the Church to restore a sense of moral integrity.

He added: 'The nation generally is getting more unhappy about the high level of abortion in this country. People are not happy about abortion as a back-stop to contraception. It's not like having a tooth out.'

The LifeLeague says: The Church of England has been criticised for failing to speak out on abortion in the past. Its new stance comes after it emerged that most women oppose efforts to liberalise the law. Whilst it doesn't go far enough, it is atleast an improvement. We suggest that you click here to contact Dr Williams and thank him for his recent comments, urge him to go further and drive home a consistant pro-life, family values agenda.

The LifeLeague says: We urge you to contact the bishop by clicking here, commend him on what he has said. Urge him to go further and oppose IVF as a whole.
