An important debate is happening in the House of Lords this week.  An amendment has been tabled to end the discriminatory nature of abortion legislation.  The law currently permits an abortion to be conducted right up to birth, when any disability has been detected, whereas it is a criminal offence to abort an able-bodied fetus after 24 weeks.  Clearly, a case of one law for the able-bodied another for the disabled.  I hope our peers support this important amendment.
