Sri Lanka Moves Towards Abortion on Demand
In Obedience to UN CEDAW
As the Sri Lankan government drafts legislation amending the penal code regarding the abortion of children - this time attempting to legalise the killing of the sick and handicapped ie. foetuses with abnormalities, (See: https://pulseline.lk/sri-lanka/government-to-introduce-new-abortion-laws/) other nations are beginning to show wisdom.
Lifesite News reports that:
“In a push to strengthen recognition of preborn babies as full persons with the same basic rights as any other American, 10 states have introduced legislation so far in 2025 to treat abortion as homicide within existing murder statutes, although they have met internal resistance from Republicans and pro-lifers who fear the legal and political fallout.
The Hill reported that, since the beginning of the year, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas have all seen bills introduced to treat abortion as homicide rather than a distinct offense with different penalties, and some of those measures extend to every form of destruction of an embryonic human (such as in vitro fertilization).
“Three of the bills — in Indiana, Oklahoma and North Dakota — have failed to pass this year,” the report noted. “And Georgia’s H.B. 441, which would modify state law to allow women to be charged with homicide for receiving an abortion, appears poised to fail as well.”
Thirteen states currently ban all or most abortions. But the abortion lobby is working feverishly to cancel out those deterrents via deregulated interstate distribution of abortion pills, legal protection and financial support of interstate abortion travel, constructing new abortion facilities near borders shared by pro-life and pro-abortion states, making liberal states sanctuaries for those who want to evade or violate the laws of more pro-life neighbors, and enshrining abortion “rights” in state constitutions.”

Furthermore, Arkansas strenghens its pro-life laws and improves definitions of “medical emergencies”:
“The Arkansas Human Life Protection Act was a trigger law, which was signed into law in 2019 but only went into effect once Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022. This law prohibits all abortions, except in the rare circumstance where an abortion is needed to save the life of the mother.
The Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act passed in 2021, offers the same regulations and adds the provision for private right of action, allowing individuals to civilly sue anyone who assists in an abortion, significantly broadening the scope of enforcement beyond governmental action.”
“On March 20, 2025, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed HB 1610 into law, which amends the Arkansas Human Life Protection Act and the Arkansas Unborn Child Protection Act and clarifies how the laws define a “medical emergency” when it comes to abortion.”
The Bill (Act 387) states that: ““Medical emergency” means a condition in which, in reasonable medical judgment, complicates the medical condition of a pregnant woman to such an extent that termination of a pregnancy an abortion is necessary to preserve the life of a pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself.”
“Specifically, it excludes conditions that are treatable without terminating a pregnancy and psychological conditions, such as a threat to the mother’s mental health or self-harm, aiming to protect unborn lives whenever possible. For example, it reads that the term “medical emergency” does not include the following:
“Conditions for which treatment is available that can, in reasonable medical judgement, be expected to preserve or sustain the life of the pregnant woman without ending the pregnancy.”
“A psychological or emotional condition.”
“A medical diagnosis that is based on a claim made by the pregnant woman or based on a presumption that the pregnant woman will engage in conduct that could result in her death or that could cause substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman.””

As for Sri Lanka, the question to be asked is whether a sick or disabled human being is of lesser value than the healthy and whole? Do we terminate the broken soliders and dismember the terminally ill?
Remember CEDAW:
CEDAW hits Sri Lanka again
The unelected bureaucrats on the United Nations’ CEDAW committee issued new instructions to the Government of Sri Lanka, on 25th February 2025. True to their radical feminist ideology, they require law reform on prostitution, abortion, gender ideology and unmerited representation quotas – for not only women, but men who say they are women, in the leader…
And the majority voted for this:
Voting for the Death of the Family
Sri Lanka recently voted in a new president, a Marxist backed by an alliance that includes the Communist Party, and he appointed a social anthropologist LGBTQ+ advocate as his Prime Minister. A link is here.
