Passion For Life.

Claire Curtis Thomas MP, a member of the All Party Parliamentary pro-Life Group has made the following comments on the statistics released today.

'These figures show that far from further liberalising the law as some MPs want to do, there is a real need to tighten it up, to show a greater regard for the unborn child.

The numbers of UK abortions are truly horrifying.  We should be putting all our effort into reducing these numbers through sensible precautions such as offering a full range of information to women considering abortion.

A few weeks ago the House of Commons voted to keep the upper time limit for abortion at 24 weeks, even though ¾ of women want to see it come down.  It is particularly disturbing as many babies survive when born at 22 and 23 weeks.
