Given the progress in medical science and prenatal screening, it is essential to review outdated and discriminatory laws that permit the termination of pregnancies diagnosed with Down syndrome until birth, based solely on a diagnosis of Down syndrome. Liam Fox MP

We absolutely stand with Liam Fox MP to secure this amendment! People with #DownSyndrome should be protected under the law at all times as the wider population are!

Breaking news! Liam Fox MP introduces an amendment which could put an end to late-term abortion based solely on a diagnosis of #DownSyndrome nik Read our statement here:

(2/2) We cannot accept a situation where those with Down syndrome are regarded as second class citizens. #PMQs

(1/2) While the limit on abortion in the UK is 24wks gestation, for #DownSyndrome , it is 40wks, right up to full term. With cross party support I will be tabling an amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill to equalise the time limit in line with our disability+equality legislation.
