Support for 20 weeks or below

The following individuals and organisations have made statements supporting lowering the upper limit for abortion to 20 weeks or below:

Prominent people

Dr Vincent Argent

Former Clinical Director BPAS

I fully support and I am right behind Nadine's 20 week campaign. I support a woman's right to choose but I consider that this should be balanced by the majority public view about the unborn child.

Prof Stuart Campbell

Pioneer of 4D fetal ultrasound

To me it is almost barbaric to abort foetuses between 20 and 24 weeks. In fact, the procedure is so unattractive and distressing that few doctors will perform the operation after 20 weeks.

Prof John Wyatt

Professor of neonatal paediatrics

Parliamentarians

Jim Dobbin MP

Nadine Dorries MP

There are around 200,000 abortions per year in Britain, 600 per day. By law babies can be aborted up to 24 weeks. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill currently in the House of Commons will allow MPs to change this outdated law. We want to cut the limit to 20 weeks or below. Please support our campaign.

Mark Pritchard MP
