David Alton, the Catholic crossbench peer and former MP, joins Dr Gavin Ashenden to discuss the recent vote for abortion up to and during birth.
They reflect on the hijacking by MPs of the Crime and Policing Bill to decriminalise abortion for any reason and at any stage in pregnancy, and also the passage of the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) through the House of Commons.
In this 103rd episode of Merely Catholic, the podcast series for The Catholic Herald, they talk about what might be done to counter the “culture of death” both in the Houses of Parliament and in society generally.
