The Family Planning Association (FPA) is running a campaign to encourage MPs to keep the abortion time limit at 24 weeks. There are fears that MPs who oppose abortion will use the Human Embryology Bill to reduce it.
There is no scientific reason for lowering the limit, a view which is supported by the main organisations representing doctors and nurses – the Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the Faculty on Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare.
Please urge you MP to keep the 24 week time limit. You can find her or him at www.upmystreet.com/commons. The FPA has printed postcards to send to MPs. They are at www.fpa.org.uk
