“This area of our abortion legislation should change.” Campaign lawyer Paul Conrathe says he will appeal against the High Court ruling that unborn babies with disabilities can be aborted after 24 weeks. Get more on this story:

At the outset of the judgment, Lord Justice Singh and Mrs Justice Lieven said:"The issues which have given rise to this claim are highly sensitive and sometimes controversial.

Speaking alongside her husband James Carter, she said:"I'm really upset not to win, but the fight is not over. "Today's High Court judgment effectively says that my two sons are not viewed as equals in the eyes of the law and I am incredibly sad and disappointed that the court has chosen not to recognise the value and worth of people with Down's syndrome, like my son Aidan.

Chief executive of BPAS, Clare Murphy, said a change in the law would"force women to continue pregnancies with multiple anomalies to term and give birth where the chances of survival are unclear or unknown".
