Year after year, Christmas is exploited to promote abortion, despite how contradictory the notion seems.<\/p>\n<p>This year, Doctors for Choice UK is <a href=\"https:\/\/doctorsforchoiceuk.com\/merch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selling<\/a> a selection of abortion-themed Christmas cards. On one, a Santa hat is emblazoned with the words &#8220;Make choice great again,&#8221; while another one riffs on a Christmas hymn \u2014 &#8220;Hark the Herald Angels Sing&#8221; \u2014 with the phrase &#8220;LARC the Herald Angels Sing,&#8221; alongside two angels and Christmas ornaments decorated with forms of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC), like IUDs. Another celebrates chemical abortions, with a Christmas tree festooned with pills and the words &#8220;Ho Ho Home use&#8221; on the cover. Inside the card, it says, &#8220;Peace, love, and pills in the post.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As medical professionals, this group should especially know better than to promote at-home, DIY abortions; it has had disastrous results in the United Kingdom. After allowing DIY abortions, there was a <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/diy-abortions-ambulance-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">surge in ambulance calls<\/a> for complications from taking the abortion pills, and skyrocketing <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/government-skyrocketing-complication-chemical-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complication rates<\/a>. At least one woman has <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-pill-sepsis-death-woman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">died<\/a>. The abortion pill has been found to be <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/study-abortion-pill-four-times-dangerous-surgical\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">four times more dangerous<\/a> for women than a first-trimester surgical abortion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gnEHZiud8dg?si=KqAAhlNZKcR2zvGe\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>Doctors for Choice UK President Wendy Savage also argued <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/uk-abortionist-prof-abortion-babies-die-naturally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier this year<\/a> that abortion is acceptable because &#8220;babies die every week,&#8221; and also said that sex-selective abortion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-4327606\/Let-mums-abort-babies-wrong-sex-says-ethics-boss.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">should be legal<\/a>. &#8220;It\u2019s her body and her foetus, so she should have that information,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-4327606\/Let-mums-abort-babies-wrong-sex-says-ethics-boss.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">she said<\/a>. &#8220;If a woman does not want to have a foetus who is one sex or the other, forcing her [to go through with the pregnancy] is not going to be good for the eventual child, and it\u2019s not going to be good for [the mother\u2019s] mental health.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These distasteful Christmas cards trivialise a very serious matter by celebrating home-access to abortion pills that ends the lives of unborn babies,&#8221; Right to Life UK spokesperson Catherine Robinson said <a href=\"https:\/\/righttolife.org.uk\/news\/doctors-for-choice-hijack-christmas-to-promote-home-abortions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a statement<\/a>. \u201cDoctors for Choice UK is a group of medical professionals who should be committed to the best care of their patients, born and unborn, rather than making light of such concerning practice. Christmas is a time when we should support the most vulnerable rather than raise funds to promote access to abortion pills, which end the lives of vulnerable unborn children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/tell-congress-stop-the-doj-from-targeting-pro-life-americans\/?utm_campaign=doj_petition&amp;utm_medium=lan_website\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail this Christmas for protesting the killing of preborn children.
