Antenatal testing for disabilities has attracted considerable controversy over the years for its association with eugenic practices. There is growing discontent amongst disability and human rights organisations that by screening pregnancies, for the purpose of terminating babies with certain conditions, there is an irrefutable presumption that those... 

The ProLife Alliance is appalled that the Department of Health has chosen to appeal against the ruling of the Information Tribunal to disclose abortion statistics to the ProLife Alliance.   ‘We have been asking since 2005 for full statistics regarding abortions for disability,’ said a spokesperson for the ProLife Alliance. ‘It is a reprehensible... 

Abortion comes out of the shadows …     Yesterday the Information Tribunal ruled in favour of the ProLife Alliance (PLA), upholding the Ruling of the Information Commissioner (IC) against that of the Department of Health (DOH) in the matter of full disclosure of abortion statistics post-24 weeks.   The ProLife Alliance participated as an Additional... 

ProLife Alliance seeking truth and transparency about abortion. June 2 Unfortunately a video-link from Gibraltar with our witness Dr Vincent Argent, scheduled for the morning of Day 3, was not possible due to technical difficulties at the Court, and so he was not able to be questioned on his statement in defence of open access to abortion statistics.... 

Late abortion figures for totals under 10 described as ‘statistics of little value’ Not unexpectedly the Department of Health marched into the Information Tribunal this morning circulating a page from the Daily Mail (not usually their favourite newspaper) reporting the killing of the American abortionist, Dr George Tiller. This was just the latest... 

ProLife Alliance seeking truth and transparency about abortion Babies are aborted post 24-weeks in the United Kingdom and not even worthy of an openly recorded number on a sheet of statistics. Friday 29 May 2009 In a week with the public braying for full transparency in relationship to every dot and comma involving MPs expenses, it was extraordinary...

The ProLife Alliance welcomes the 1.6% decrease in the abortion figures for 2008, and also the slightly lower percentage of abortions for teenagers. The long-standing inadequacies of abortion reporting, however, have not altered. The new statistics yet again record incidences of missing ages, missing gestations, missing postcodes, and missing grounds. It... 

“A Selfish Choice” Recently I came across a remark by Claire Rayner to the effect that the decision by the wife of Dominic Lawson  to reject the offer of an abortion for their Downs Syndrome child was selfish.  She considered the choice selfish, because of the so-called misery of Downs Syndrome children and because the amount of money... 

Often people don’t realise how late abortion is carried out in the UK. Over the last four years, there have been repeated calls to restrict the abortion limit, on the grounds that aborting babies at six months (24 weeks) is appalling as babies can survive if born at that stage. But how many people are aware that the 1967 Abortion Act also permits...
