That this House expresses concern about the remarks made by the Chief Executive of the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) seeking to scrap the time limit for abortions, a statement made without consultation from the RCM, who we thank for doing all it can to preserve life; and asks how someone in this position can express a view which is contradictory to those in the medical profession and by the RCM whose motto is Life is a gift from God.
