"Last week, a total of
61 Conservative MPs voted against the Government’s plans to extend abortion access in Northern Ireland, with a further 190 not recording a vote.
Among the number voting against the measure were several ministers, including the Brexit Opportunities Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg. He has
previously said that he is “completely opposed” to women having the right to abortion, including in the cases of rape or incest. He is also patron of the anti-abortion organisation Right to Life.
Most alarmingly, he was joined by Conservative MP Maria Caulfield, another Right to Life patron, who is also the Government’s Women’s Health Minister. Caulfield has previously
been accused of making “baseless claims” about the issue after she used an interview to call for the Government to reduce the upper time limit on abortions."
"Another US group that’s long tried to influence classic ‘culture war’ cases in the UK is the anti-abortion ‘dark money’-funded legal army Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). openDemocracy
revealed in 2019 that its international wing had spent nearly half a million pounds on lobbying in the UK over just two years. "
