A Radio 4 outside broadcast van is about to come to my home to pre-record an interview which will be broadcast on Radio 4 at 1pm on Sunday.

 

The interview is about abortion and the forthcoming month long investigation the Science and Technology Committee, on which I sit, is about to undertake.

 

I will post on Monday details of what is in store over the next few weeks as the temperature is going to rise dramatically on this issue within Parliament, and amongst MPs over the next few weeks.

 

In the meantime, may I suggest that anyone interested in this issue reads today’s Daily Mail online and reads the article regarding foetal pain - If for no reason other than you are going to need to keep up over the next month!

Excellent, perhaps 'the silent scream' will become loud enough for everyone to hear one day soon.

My daughter-in-law recently showed me a scan at about 16 weeks into her pregnancy.The image clearly defines this is a baby, not a bundle of tissue. Having read the Mail's article, it is clear the limit needs to be drastically reduced.We are playing with life and destroying it.People need to be responsible for their actions.Put the limit at 12 weeks, that's 2 missed periods and still leaves +/- 4 weeks to have the operation.

You were excellent, keep up the good work.
