   The current BillThe Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, currently before the House of Commons, provides an opportunity for MPs to vote on amendments to the abortion law. With your active participation we can change the law, save unborn lives and create a society where women with an unplanned pregnancy are offered real alternatives to abortion. The Alive and Kicking Alliance strongly supports the following amendments that will help to substantially reduce the number of abortions in the UK:
1. A substantial lowering of the 24-week abortion upper limit. Public, parliamentary and medical opinion supports a reduction of the abortion time limit. This is a direct result of 4D ultrasound, improved neonatal survival and live births following late abortion.
2. An end to discriminatory abortion of disabled babies up to birth, whilst a 24-week upper limit is in place for babies without disability. This constitutes discrimination against those with special needs.
3. A charter of informed consent for women seeking abortion. Women contemplating abortion require the information, support and space necessary to make a fully informed decision.
