Disability abortion law Inquiry
A major Parliamentary Inquiry into Abortion on the Grounds of Disability kicks off today.
Calls to end 'eugenic abortions'
In a letter to the Telegraph last September, an alliance of prolife campaigners describe the practice of aborting foetuses on physical grounds as a form of eugenics.
The letter, signed by pro-life campaigners and religious groups, argues that the current law enshrines a form of disability discrimination.
They wish to restrict the 1967 Abortion Act, to prevent doctors terminating pregnancies on the grounds of physical abnormality.
