LONDON — Even one of Britain's largest abortuaries is backing a bid by politicians there to restrict the age limit for abortions to 20 weeks or younger, arguing that babies older than that are then “potentially viable” outside the womb.
Planned-Parenthood affiliate, Marie Stopes International, UK's largest private abortion provider, said Sunday it would like to see the abortion limit reduced from Europe's oldest legal age for abortion — 24 weeks — to 20 weeks. Marie Stopes is responsible for the atrocity of 60,000 unborn deaths per year.
“We do feel that in light of medical developments the upper limit [for legal abortion] should come down,” said Marie Stopes International chief executive Dr Tim Black, according to a telegraph.co.uk report.
British Conservative Party leader Michael Howard said he would push to change the abortion restriction from the current 24 months gestation limit down to 20 weeks if elected Prime Minister in the next election. Howard told Cosmopolitan magazine that the current abortion legislation is “tantamount to abortion on demand,” promising to vote to reduce the cut-off time.
Prime Minister Tony Blair confirmed today that an election will be held May 5.
