Scotland is facing backlash as the country could potentially adopt the most extreme abortion laws in the European Union. 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. The Abortion Law Expert Group said the current requirements demanding approval from two doctors are “anachronistic, paternalistic and failed to reflect best modern practice.” A new proposal would require approval from two “healthcare professionals,” which would broaden the scope to include nurses, midwives, and other roles in the medical field issuing those approvals. The topic of sex selection abortions was mentioned in the recommendations, per The Telegraph. “[The review group] believed that any prohibition would be unworkable in practice,” Anna Glasier, the chair of The Abortion Law Expert Group, said, “…requiring either intrusive and inappropriate questioning of all women regarding their motivation for seeking abortion, or racial profiling and additional questioning of a smaller proportion of women from ethnic communities where sex-selective abortion is believed to be practiced.”  Right now, DailyWire+ annual memberships are fifty percent off during our Black Friday sale.

No decision has been made on the recommendations, but Jenni Minto, Scotland’s Minister for Women’s Health, said the government will “take time to carefully consider all the findings.” There has been backlash against the extreme proposal. Telegraph columnist Celia Walden called it a “dystopian nightmare,” writing, “the idea of engineering your children like you’re picking toppings on a pizza makes me queasy.” Director of advocacy and policy for the Christian group Care for Scotland, Caroline Ansell, said, “If enacted, we believe they would have heartbreaking consequences for women and babies, including exposing more women to the dangers and harms of late-term abortions.” Several pro-life groups have pointed out that this proposed change does not reflect public opinion, which has become increasingly opposed to abortion.  A recent Ipsos poll across 29 countries found that a higher percentage of Millennial and Gen Z women were opposed to keeping abortion legal in all cases compared to Baby Boomers, who were the biggest supporters of abortion of the demographics surveyed.

Medication may be able to stabilize symptoms, but BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey and Dr. Greg Gifford believe the real healing when it comes to depression and hopelessness is in looking to God — not at ourselves.“No one should hear this, watch this, listen to this, and think I’m saying depression doesn’t exist, because I’m not saying that. And no one should hear this, watch this, listen to this, and think I’m saying anxiety doesn’t exist, because I’m not saying that,” Gifford tells Stuckey.“I’ve never said those things. What I’m saying is let’s start to uncover what’s going on in depression,” he continues, using physiological issues, vitamin deficiencies, and thyroid issues as examples that can have an effect on the mind.Another example Gifford uses is some sort of cyst or growth on the brain that could be affecting mood regulation. However, physiological issues aren’t the only causes of depression or anxiety.“So if I don’t have any known physiological problems, doctors can’t find anything, there’s nothing going on in the organ of my brain. Thyroid looks great. All my bloodwork comes back, and it looks nice. Then maybe, just maybe, I should be open to what’s happening in my mind,” he explains.“What am I thinking about? What am I putting my hope in? Why? Why? Am I disappointed and so discouraged? Did something change in my life recently that was not physiological but was circumstantial and that’s what triggered this depression? Then you’re not talking about a biological problem at all. You’re actually talking about a spiritual problem,” he continues.The solution, Gifford says, is taking “you back to the nature and the character of God and His promises.”“We want to set you free that God is faithful. 2 Corinthians 1, He’s the God of all comfort. That His mercy is unending for you, that even in the low point, if someone’s watching this in bed, right, even in that low point, God draws people out of the mud and the muck and the mire and He sets them on a firm rock, which is Himself,” he says.“That is the hope that people need. An antidepressant can’t touch that. We need to behold the glory of God, not behold the glory of our problems, not behold the glory of ourselves, not behold the glory of psychotropics,” he continues.And while many people struggling with depression will turn to therapy over the Bible, the former often only makes it worse.“One of the key features of depression is often just a constant dwelling on your own problems,” Stuckey says, pointing out that author Abigail Shrier made this point well in her book “Bad Therapy.”“She says start class every day by asking your students how they feel, and you’re actually going to make them feel worse,” Gifford agrees. “And it’s like, Shrier’s not arguing for a biblical worldview, but there is something correct about that, which is a self-centered worldview makes me more miserable.”Want more from Allie Beth Stuckey?To enjoy more of Allie’s upbeat and in-depth coverage of culture, news, and theology from a Christian, conservative perspective, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
