Scottish Government recognises value of the unborn child

Nicola Sturgeon appreciating the beauty of new life It is wonderful to hear Scotland’s First Minister Nicola
Sturgeon announce that, from Spring 2017, all pregnant women will receive free
vitamins in order to help give their children the best possible start in life. In addition to making vitamins freely available the Scottish
Government will also be introducing the following initiatives:
Ms Sturgeon said that “every child deserves a fair and equal
chance and offering all pregnant women vitamins sends a strong signal that,
right from the very start of life, we are doing all we can to help. There is strong evidence that taking vitamins
in pregnancy improves both the mother and baby’s health and providing free
vitamins, to all pregnant women, has the widespread support of healthcare
professionals.” Any government policy which seeks to assist women in
pregnancy to look after both themselves and their baby must be welcomed. It is a positive step by the Scottish
government and it is hoped that many people will benefit from the new
initiatives. The introduction of free vitamins for all pregnant women is real
and positive recognition by the Scottish Government of the importance of the
unborn child. The unborn child should
be entitled to the same rights as any born child and this must include the
right to the best possible health care and treatment. While the rights of the unborn child are not
yet fully protected in our country, primarily because of the availability of
abortion, this type of initiative is a step in the right direction; a small but
important step towards equality of rights for all children, irrespective of whether they happen
to be inside or outside of the womb. Click this link to read more about the new initiative: ttp://news.scotland.gov.uk/News/All-pregnant-women-to-receive-vitamins-251d.aspx |
