Thanks Evan

Glad you’re so liberal and leftwing as to support a woman’s right to choose. Your mates at the BMA rejected shortening the time limit, didn’t you hear?

This Tuesday, Dr Evan Harris, the Liberal Democrat MP, will call for the government to set up an inquiry into whether the upper abortion limit should be lowered to 22 weeks.

In a Commons debate, he will argue there is evidence that the age of viability of the foetus could have changed because premature babies now survive at just 23 weeks gestation.

    Not like Evan to go against the BMA whip. Something to ensure that students at Oxford are well aware of, though … I feel an op-ed piece in Cherwell might be just the thing.

    And what exactly is wrong with lowering the abortion time limit? You seem to place women above other human beings.

    There’s only one human being involved in the decision to have an abortion - the woman.
