What the petition asks
Science cannot prove that a human being does not begin its existence at the moment of conception as the major world religions believe. 4D scanners show us that babies in the womb 'walk', yawn, smile from 12 weeks onwards. Abortion is the killing of an unborn child. It should be illegal in the UK.

Protestant Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism all believe that abortion is wrong and most believe a human being starts at the moment of Conception.
