Tory candidates views on abortion

I've seen a few posts about potential new PM candidates and thought this might be helpful for anyone trying to make a decision and needing to see the candidates views on this.

Not a great set of choices is it? Although I have no choice on the next PM not being a Conservative member anyway. But this really does not give me any confidence Britain won’t go the way of the States on this. I don’t believe that all those candidates are convinced religionists and against abortion on moral grounds, I think they are just afraid of being seen to vote for abortion rights. Who are they so scared of?

It's worrying isn't it - even those who are (seemingly) more popular on FWR had worse records on this topic than I was expecting to see. I've never voted Tory and I'm not likely to but I was still shocked to see how they had voted.

Abstaining on a vote on abortion when you hold strong religious beliefs (which you can’t help) seems like the right thing to do to me. It’s respectful of others and their rights, and it allows for freedom of conscience.

Sadly, I don't think we can afford to be complacent. There are parliamentary attacks on abortion rights every few years in this country. Eternal vigilance and all that....

And there always will be. People are entitled to oppose abortion.
