I see where the Labour MP Steve Chadwick is planning to introduce a Members Bill to parliament, “That women should have the right to demand an abortion up to 24 weeks and able to bypass the expense of having to visit two independent gynecologists.”
Surely this is morally wrong?  At 24 weeks the mother is carrying a fully developed baby, albeit a small one, whom she will have felt kicking her abdomen since 16 weeks.   The remaining time [up to 40weeks] is spent maturing the tiny organs and putting on weight. I feel this is tantamount to murder, or certainly child abuse.
In this day when contraception is so available it is not necessary to get pregnant if you do not wish to have a baby; and if you do get into this situation, you should be responsible for your actions.
I am sure I am not the only person concerned about this Bill, and I would ask you to join me in contacting your MPs with your worries.
