The Ramadhan Foundation urges MPs of all parties to tomorrow to vote against the ever increasing rate of abortions.  Sadly over the past few decades' abortion has become like everyday contraceptive and has lost the value of human life.

We join other faith leaders and their communities in expresses our total opposition to abortion, Islam totally forbids abortion and there is no difference on these issues amongst all major faiths.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill is a unique opportunity to say no to an ever increasing rate of abortion in this country, as people of faith we can never justify abortion and believe that human life is precious and should be protected.

Mr. Muhammad Umar, Chairman of the Foundation comments:

"I am horrified that the rate of abortions has increased drastically to levels not seen ever before, the Ramadhan Foundation urges MPs to vote against abortion and to protect human life. We thank Nadine Norries MP and other MPs from all Political Parties for their hard work in protecting human life.

We strongly disagree with them on the basic principle of our faith that human life is sacred and should be protected.

We urge people to lobby their local MP and ensure that they are aware of our strong concerns."
