“Surely we cannot accept… that people with Down’s syndrome are second class citizens.” Foetuses with Down’s syndrome can be aborted up to the point of birth, but Conservative MP Liam Fox says he will table an amendment to change this to 24 weeks and asks for the PM's support.

@LiamFox People with DS should NEVER be treated as second class citizens. Our adopted DS son (39) is a wonderful person, when our grandchildren were young he was a very helpful uncle, they enjoyed his company. We all are so grateful to have him in our lives.😀

I admire this chap who unlike many is actually talking about subject he knows.

@Caittrainor Good man.

Thank you @LiamFox . Why should my brother be viewed as less important than my adored grandaughter? 24 weeks not 38, please.

Well said.

Up to the point of birth??

@LiamFox It should be equalised for all at 12 weeks.

Good Man Liam.

More progressive in this one area than labour are in their whole campaign
