Changes

Remarkably for a British politician, Widdecombe is a vocal [[Christian]] whose faith has often being a feature of her political life.  She insisted that should the Conservative Party be elected to government again she would be unable to serve as Health Secretary since the [[NHS|National Health Service]] performs [[abortion]]s.  She has been a strong campaigner for family values and is a publicly-acknowledged practitioner of [[abstinence]].  When the [[Church of England]], of which she was a member, decided to allow women to become priests, she left and joined the [[Catholic Church]].  She once boycotted [[British Airways]] in protest at the airline refusing to allow a member of staff to display a [[crucifix]], and only returned to using the carrier when the decision was reversed.
