Abortion
In 2010 he presented an edition of the Channel Four series 4though.tv, two minute opinion slots. Channel Four stated that 'Dr Trevor Stammers is a Christian who has been a practising GP for over 30 years. He refuses to personally refer women for abortions and believes there is a growing uneasiness in the medical profession about the vast numbers of abortions performed simply because women see children as a "social inconvenience".'[6]
Stammers was Programme Director of the 2010-11 MA in Bioethics and Medical Law at St Mary's University College, London, TW1. [7]
Gay rights
Stammers argues that homosexuality is against Christian teaching. In 1999 he wrote: 'We cannot compromise on what God says about sex... it seems clear that biblically, coitus is only permitted within the commitment of heterosexual marriage.' Those who ignore this 'fall short of God's standard'.[8]
