Ban abortions after 24 weeks due to Down's syndrome diagnosis
Amend laws relating to abortion to equalise the 24 week limit for abortions in cases where the baby has been diagnosed with Down’s syndrome. We believe that the law should affirm the equal value and dignity of all lives, ensuring that every child has a fair chance to make their mark in the world.

Enable parents to register birth and death of babies carried beyond 24 weeks
We ask the Government to change the law so parents can register the birth and death of babies carried beyond 24 weeks, even if they passed earlier. Families deserve recognition and dignity, not the miscarriage label, for the babies they carried and gave birth to.
Protect babies lives once heartbeat detectable, except in extreme cases
Introduce a bill to protect babies in the womb once a heartbeat is detected. It bans abortion of healthy babies beyond this point, with exceptions for rape, to save the mother’s life, or if the child has a fatal foetal abnormality.
