DR UK urges Government to make time for this vital Bill, presented by Lord Shinkwin, to be debated.
This Bill is about equality. We have no views on abortion - but we believe strongly that whatever time limit is set after which abortion should not happen, no distinction should be made between a foetus where the child will be born disabled and where the child will be born non-disabled. All lives are equal!
This is a vital matter of principle and we are deeply disappointed that this important Bill has not had the time it needs to be debated. We urge Government to rectify this.
