MPs unite to vote for 20-week abortion limit - The Telegraph 29th March 2008

Monday, March 31, 2008

Hundreds of MPs are to vote to lower the abortion limit to 20 weeks in a move which could lead to the first change in the law on terminations for nearly two decades. At least 200 members from all parties are poised to back a reduction, many motivated by medical advances that have resulted in many more premature babies surviving. Department of Health data shows 909 children were born between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy in 2005 and 250 survived for at least a year.
