Britain’s new health secretary, Therese Coffey, is a practicing Catholic who has previously voiced opposition to both abortion and assisted suicide.
Announced as part of Prime Minister, Liz Truss’, major cabinet reshuffle, Ms Coffey has also been named deputy prime minister.
Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Coffey told Sky News, “I don’t wear my religion on my sleeve but it’s undoubtedly part of who I am . . . I would prefer that people didn’t have abortions, but I’m not going to condemn people who do.”
