Scotland is considering a proposal that would wipe out every remaining limit on abortion, even though there is no reason to kill a child in the womb. Not one. The push comes from a formal review ordered by the Scottish government to modernize abortion law.
The report argues that existing safeguards are outdated and should be cleared away in the name of access. It also recommends handing approval to any two healthcare professionals while erasing every gestational limit. The unborn child disappears from the equation the moment the reviewers frame life as an obstacle.
One of the most disturbing parts of this proposal is the acceptance of sex selection as a valid reason for abortion.
Scotland is currently regulated by the 1967 Abortion Act, which allows abortions up to 24 weeks of gestation if two doctors agree that the criteria are met. This is notably higher than in many other European countries, where the limit is usually 12 weeks.
But now, thanks to a review of abortion law commissioned by the Scottish Government, those restrictions could be abolished entirely, with women able to access abortion up to birth for “social reasons” including for reasons of sex selection, such as aborting a daughter if the mother wanted a son instead. – Daily Wire
Supporters argue it is too hard to stop, so the law should simply permit it. This comes from the same world that insists toddlers can transition and now sees no issue with eliminating a baby girl (or boy) before birth. Eliminating a child because of their sex is not progress. Lord help us.
Scotland’s ruling party wants abortion up to the moment of birth — not for medical emergencies, not for catastrophic complications…

We cover abortion here a lot on the blog. Lisa’s most recent post about an abortion children’s book and the grotesque worldview it tried to sell to kids is still fresh in my mind. Nothing about this new proposal feels surprising in that context. The same ideology shows up here, only now it comes with a government stamp instead of sea-shanty illustrations. And for anyone who thought that book was rock bottom, hold my peppermint mocha. They always find a deeper level.
The review also pushes to scrap the rule that two doctors must sign off. Now the idea is to let almost anyone with a healthcare title give the green light. That sort of change guts medical oversight in the very procedures that demand the highest level of care. Convenience becomes the virtue.
Full-term abortion ends the life of a fully developed child, and that reality should stop us cold. These procedures involve babies who can feel pain, respond to sound, survive outside the womb, and recognize familiar voices. The risks to the woman rise sharply as the pregnancy advances, yet the moral risk to the society that permits such acts is even greater. Treating something this extreme as ordinary medical care requires a kind of deliberate numbness. Life becomes a disposable inconvenience.
Scotland is not acting in a vacuum. The push for abortion without limits follows the same strategy used by activists here in America. Eleven jurisdictions already allow abortion to birth through broad health language that includes emotional or psychological well-being. Alaska, Colorado, New Mexico, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, Michigan, Minnesota, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., all permit late-term abortion with no fixed gestational limit. That framework has become an international export. Countries that adopt it end up in the same place, even when they claim otherwise. Scotland is now being invited to join that list.
When a government signals that full-term abortion is acceptable, it shows exactly who counts and who does not. Women are told elimination is easier than support, and children learn their value is conditional. And think about the children who are already here — the five- or six-year-old who knows a new sibling is on the way, only to watch that life quietly disappear because it wasn’t convenient anymore. What does that teach a child about their own worth? The message sinks in fast. Life only matters when someone else wants it. Once a culture accepts that logic, darker conclusions follow.
Scotland says nothing is final, but the delay doesn’t change the fact that they must choose whether to protect the vulnerable or let convenience win.
