Amend the1967 abortion act.No abortion after 24 weeks. Equality for all.
In the UK it is legal to terminate a pregnancy up untill birth if the child has a disability such as Downs Syndrome. However it is illegal to terminate a child without a disability after 24 weeks.Help me to outlaw disability based abortions.No abortion after 24 weeks.

Lord Shinkwin’s Bill wants to outlaw abortions on the grounds of disability
If successful, the Abortion (Disability Equality) Bill will remove section 1(1)(d) from the 1967 Abortion Act, which allows for abortion on the grounds of disability up-to-birth. In the UK, disability-selective abortions are currently available right up to the moment of birth whereas in most cases, “healthy” babies cannot be aborted beyond 24 weeks.
