In 1992, when Theresa May was
trying to unseat Hilary Armstrong from a house around the corner from the one
in which I lived then and am still writing this now, she claimed in her
election address that she was totally opposed to abortion, in a doomed attempt
to attract the support of the Vatican City State of Consett barely a decade
after her party’s closure of that town’s employer. Now, though, she favours
nothing more than a reduction in the time limit to 20 weeks. Funny, that.
By contrast, the Clerk to the All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group is a Labour Councillor,
Ed Rennie of Ealing, whom I met at the Blue Labour conference at Nottingham earlier this year, and who works from the office of the Labour MP who chairs that Group,
Jim Dobbin. One of that Group’s Secretaries is also a Labour MP, Joe Benton, while the other, Margaret Ritchie, previously led the SDLP.
