Last Friday, a judge in the United Kingdom ruled that a mentally ill pregnant mother must be forced to abort her child because doctors believed it was in her “best interests.” That horrendous decision was overturned by a Court of Appeal in London on Monday, but the country still has much to sort out on this issue.

After Justice Nathalie Lieven’s controversial forced abortion decision on Friday, Right to Life UK started a petition that gathered 91,000 signatures by Monday afternoon when the decision was overturned. The pregnant mother and her family needed to act quickly after the decision Friday, as the baby was at 22 weeks gestation age and the legal limit for abortion is 24 weeks, and later abortions pose a greater threat to the mother’s health as well. Fortunately, the Court of Appeal swiftly issued a ruling to overturn Justice Lieven’s decision and save this baby and the family from any further trauma.
