Activists who want free termination up to birth have allowed what was meant to be an emergency measure during Covid to become a dangerous new normal.
One of the most striking developments was Mordaunt criticising the use of the word ‘woman’ in the Ministerial and other Maternity Allowances Bill.
The risk and severity of Covid – particularly for this patient group – outweighs the theoretical unproven risk of getting inoculated.
Our current legislation predates the state of the medical art on pregnancy, and makes it harder to secure early terminations.
