  1. Good.

    Even in the _extremely_ unlikely event the Tories stay in power, even they know there is zero appetite for an abortion ban in the UK outside of small disparate groups of right wing religious types. 

    So let the right wing US nutjobs waste as much money as possible, less to spend on getting Trump back into power.

  2. Big spending, no results.

    Its worth pointing out (yet again!) that any abortion at any gestation is illegal in the UK if not signed off by two Drs and carried out under certain conditions.

    This legislation isn’t about decriminalisation of late term abortion, its any abortion from day 1 of pregnancy.

  3. Also a bunch of US mega churches heavily investing and parachuting people into churches in Scotland (not sure if it’s happening down south too). Have seen local churches link to US right wing mission statements.

  4. Been calling out the dangers of American evangelical extremism to the UK for a long time now. Things have cranked up a notch as the antivaxers opened the door to all of this.

    Things will get a lot lot worse.

  5. I don’t see any sense in deriding this just because the Tories are set to lose the election.
    Labour have shown time and time again that when the Tories move right, Labour lurch right along with them.
    This is very dangerous territory.

  6. These forced birthers are so insane. I’ve never once seen a funeral for a miscarriage from them.

    My parents were forced birthers and there were about 5 miscarriages in the space of 12 years in my immediate family and not once was there a genuine mourning period from any of them.

    They don’t actually believe what they say.
    It’s all about control over women.

  7. Loool what a waste of their money. There is no anti abortion religious movement in the uk like there is in the USA. Everyone should just laugh at them.

  8. How do we stop this stop fucking religion and stop puking fucking American bastards HOW? They’ve fucked up so much of the world already no more no more let’s put a stop to it NOW!!!!!

  9. Yeah never going to happen, we don’t have the rabid Christian nutjobs the Americans have, well I imagine there are some but small in number. Less American culture we get over here the better in my book. I mean myself am anti-abortion in general but I wouldn’t ever dream of telling someone else what they should do with their own body.

  10. Now we know how it felt when the missionaries went out to spread the word to the heathens. Does that mean we can stick them in the pot and eat them like true barbarians!

  11. Didn’t we underestimate the ridiculousness of Brexit? As mad at it seems, it is a real threat they could equate abortion into hurting the libs. Our idiots are as idiotic as the idiots they’re used to dealing with. They’ll equate it with immigrants and benefit scroungers somehow

  12. Orrrr they could spend big to help people who need to abort cause they can’t finically raise a child

  13. They’ve been doing it in Africa for years too, can’t see it taking hold here really, its just too far removed from the average Brit’s position.

    Even in America where they’re much more religious and susceptible to this the topic of abortion is still incredibly toxic for the republicans when it comes to elections, and they have to get it through the back door and only in deep red states. Even trump has taken a centrist position on it

  14. Why do people think an abortion ban is out of the question?

    There’s a lot of money coming from these lobbyists. We’ve got a political class who are entirely for sale to the highest bidder and a general public who’ll happily dance to whatever lowest common denominator tune the tabloids tell them to.

  15. If I see anyone protesting abortion in this country I’m throwing a McDonalds milkshake over them. Get Faraged losers.

  16. jail the fuckers, coming over here and fucking about, they can keep their god bothering shit at home the fucking cunts.

  17. It’s a scary thing when Far Right ‘Christian’ groups are trying to reach outside of the USA.

    I feel Far Right groups are uniting internationally now, with the likes of Tommy Robinson (Yaxley-Lennon) meeting Americans for talks and getting donations from yanks and far right groups in Europe.

    Using religion to push political agenda has happened since religions were formed.

    Let the yanks keep their awful policies and leave us all alone.

  18. I’ll always say if ‘pro-lifers’ seriously thought millions of babies have been killed on an industrial scale because of abortions they would be rioting in the streets.

  19. US right wingers can fuck off if they think they should have any say on our domestic politics.

  20. A friendly reminder that the number one killer of children in the US is guns… but they won’t ban them. That’s all we need to know.

  21. All they have to do is attack the SNP in Scotland first. That will get all the British media on their side – plus all the usual useful idiots online.
