Letter: Muslims back abortion fight
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Muslim Aid and the Muslims in Britain were very pleased to read that the new campaign by the Archbishop Thomas Cardinal Winning in Scotland to protect unborn children from being killed through abortion has been successful as the first child from this pro-life scheme has been born ("First child born in anti-abortion deal", 21 July).
Following the launch of this noble campaign in March, I sent from Muslim Aid pounds 5,000 as a first contribution in order to help to save life.
We Muslims believe strongly in the sanctity of life, and only God the creator of all life is the owner of life. In Islam, suicide, assisted suicide or euthanasia and abortion are forbidden. Muslims today are moving to join the pro-life campaign in Britain with our good Christian friends in order to keep God's law.
