29:31

The United Kingdom parliament decided to decriminalise abortion. The practical effect of this is that abortion will be possible up to birth instead only 24 weeks. According to pro-life activist Ana del Pino, this is infanticide and barbarism, since the baby could survive outside the womb. It will also facilitate sex-selective abortion. For more, vi…
