Disabled UK Lawmaker Speaks on His Bill to Stop Abortion of Disabled: ‘How Dare You Wipe Us Out As Mere Conditions?’

(CNSNews.com) – The United Kingdom’s House of Lords debated - and ultimately moved to committee - a bill Friday that would make it illegal to abort babies diagnosed with a disability past 24 weeks gestation.

Current UK law [1] allows for abortion up to birth for an unborn baby diagnosed with a disability compared with a 24 week limit on abortion for a healthy unborn child.

 Lord Kevin Shinkwin, a sufferer of the rare genetic disorder, brittle bone disease, vigorously argued for the necessity of his bill Friday.
