Crime and Policing BillContribution
I stress that we are talking about the fate of some of the most vulnerable children in our society. Those are overwhelmingly the children who would be affected by and benefit from this modest change. As has already been said, the current law denies our scientific knowledge and the evidence that we have before us. I note that, earlier this evening, or perhaps it was yesterday, we made an advance in our law by a lot of people getting together and making a change to the abortion law to protect vulnerable women. It is now in the Government’s hands to do something to protect vulnerable children as well.
