Controversial activist Peter Tatchell has been slammed online for cheering ‘Bravo’ to the UK’s acceptance of abortion, assisted dying and prostitution.
Most responses to the campaigner’s tweets seemed hostile to his comments.
The UK ranks in the world's top four countries for accepting divorce, homosexuality, casual sex, assisted dying, prostitution & abortion. Bravo!
Live & let live!

“Not sure casual sex, prostitution and abortion are things to shout about… ? Am I missing something” was one response.
“What a weird selection of things to celebrate,” was another.
“Not one of those things is good for society. It just promotes chaos, confusion, abuse and sky rocketing STD’s. But as you say “ live and let live!” Except the vulnerable, voiceless, unborn and the sick,” wrote another woman.
Tatchell was referring to data from the Policy Institute analysis of World Values Survey data which showed Britain’s acceptance of abortion and assisted suicide (which is still illegal), casual sex and divorce had increased.
The poll showed some 47% of Britons thought abortion and assisted suicide were justified, ranking it amongst the “most socially liberal” of the countries in Europe.
