Tory MP Nadine Dorries has unveiled 20 reasons why the upper time limit for abortion should be lowered to 20 weeks’ gestation. Jennie Bristow, editor of Abortion Review, gives 24 reasons why it should stay as it is.

MPs must hold firm in the face of a mendacious, emotive and unscientific campaign to cut the time limit from 24 to 20 weeks, argues Polly Toynbee in the Guardian.
Survival rates for babies born before 24 weeks are extremely low and getting no better in spite of medical advances, according to an authoritative study in the British Medical Journal.
