London: Therese Coffey, who has been appointed as the new Deputy Prime Minister and Health Secretary in Britain, is a staunch pro-life activist. A confidante of Prime Minister Liz Truss, Thérèse is a staunch Catholic. Even as the Catholic faithful expressed their joy at the appointment of 51-year-old Teresa, there are strong criticisms against her stance on issues including feticide and euthanasia.

The Health Minister is another position that people look up to as much as the Prime Minister of Britain. The reason for the criticism is that Coffey's policy is to oppose abortion. Clare Murphy, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, has responded that Theresa's appointment as health minister is worrying.

Therese recently voted against legalizing women in England and Wales to have abortions by taking the pill at home. Earlier, due to the Covid pandemic, women were allowed to have abortions at home, but later it was decided to continue. This two-pill abortion requires no surgery or anaesthesia. Thérèse strongly criticized the destruction of unborn babies.

At the same time, Therese Coffey has stated that she does not intend to change the abortion law that has already been implemented in England. "The minister said that he wanted people not to have abortions but would not blame those who do.

Therese voted against same-sex marriage legislation and liberalizing abortion laws. In an interview, she stated that the proudest moment of her life was voting against euthanasia as an MP on 11 September 2015.

When asked by a journalist if it is difficult to remain a Catholic in politics, Therese Coffey replied that people of faith have different views on many things.
