The Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, has confirmed she will take part in a key House of Lords vote on proposed abortion law changes, following concern that a planned pilgrimage might prevent her attendance. The vote relates to an amendment that would decriminalise abortion at any stage of pregnancy in England and Wales, a proposal that has generated significant debate. Pro-life groups and Christian voices had urged bishops to be present, stressing the importance of the issue and its implications for the protection of unborn life. Lambeth Palace confirmed the Archbishop will attend the vote while continuing her pilgrimage, which forms part of her spiritual preparation for her installation. The outcome of the vote carries profound moral and legal significance, with many highlighting the need to uphold both the dignity of life and compassionate support for those in crisis. See  and also
