The uncomfortable truth behind extending bereavement leave for miscarriage
The government plans to amend the Employment Rights Bill to extend statutory bereavement leave to parents who experience pregnancy loss at any stage, including before 24 weeks. This policy raises concerns about inconsistency with abortion laws that allow termination up to birth, as recognizing grief for miscarriage suggests the unborn child has intrinsic value, conflicting with the permissibility of abortion at similar gestational ages.

Only “three to five years” until male contraceptive is on our shelves, says WHO
The World Health Organization predicts that new male contraceptive methods, including hormonal gels and non-hormonal pills, could be available within three to five years, around 2029 to 2031. While these methods aim to allow men to take a more active role in contraception, concerns are raised about their effectiveness, potential behavioral consequences, and the impact on attitudes toward pregnancy and abortion. The WHO has published Target Product Profiles to guide development, and surveys indicate significant interest among men, with 69% of British men willing to use hormonal contraceptives that suppress sperm production. Critics argue that increased contraception availability does not necessarily reduce abortion rates and may contribute to a culture that devalues children and family life.
