The mother of a baby with Down's syndrome is suing the government for allowing disabled children to be aborted after 24 weeks of pregnancy

"It is really tough to think back on that, I find it really difficult to think that Aidan's life isn't seen as valuable as his older brother's, it makes me worry as to whether he'll be seen the same or treated the same.

"We are all equally valued and I am someone who has Down's syndrome and it makes me feel upset, rejected by society and looked down on. It makes me feel like I shouldn't exist in this world."Ann Furedi is chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service. She says women do not take the decision to abort a disabled child"lightly".

Completely agree. I’m not keen on abortion either, but there are reasons and circumstances, for which it now exists. It gives an individual choice. I can’t believe this lady is fighting to take choice away from other women

It’s not at all about removing choice with women, it’s simply about aligning it to 24 weeks.

What a stunner
