UK: Cameron to back late abortions for babies with minor disabilities
The Daily Mail reports:
David Cameron has risked angering hardline anti-abortion campaigners by saying he will vote to allow the termination of babies with minor disabilities.
With MPs preparing for a Commons battle on a range of controversial human fertility issues, the Tory leader said there was no need to change the law.
MPs are expected to vote on a proposal to change the rule that allows abortions as late as 39 weeks if the unborn child is diagnosed with a disability. But Mr Cameron said: “I won’t be supporting that. The current law should remain.”
