UK abortion group is selling abortion-themed Christmas cards
It would seem odd to celebrate abortion — the intentional, targeted killing of a preborn child — during a holiday dedicated to the birth of a very special Child, but the abortion industry seems to have no problem doing just that. Year after year, Christmas is exploited to promote abortion, despite how contradictory the notion seems.
This year, Doctors for Choice UK is selling a selection of abortion-themed Christmas cards. On one, a Santa hat is emblazoned with the words “Make choice great again,” while another one riffs on a Christmas hymn — “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” — with the phrase “LARC the Herald Angels Sing,” 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 “Ho Ho Home use” on the cover. Inside the card, it says, “Peace, love, and pills in the post.”
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 surge in ambulance calls for complications from taking the abortion pills, and skyrocketing complication rates. At least one woman has died. The abortion pill has been found to be four times more dangerous for women than a first-trimester surgical abortion.

Doctors for Choice UK President Wendy Savage also argued earlier this year that abortion is acceptable because “babies die every week,” and also said that sex-selective abortion should be legal. “It’s her body and her foetus, so she should have that information,” she said. “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’s not going to be good for [the mother’s] mental health.”
“These distasteful Christmas cards trivialise a very serious matter by celebrating home-access to abortion pills that ends the lives of unborn babies,” Right to Life UK spokesperson Catherine Robinson said in a statement. “Doctors 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.”
