NOT in our name! (abortion chapter)

so, the MPs voted against reducing the time limit for abortion from 24 to 20/22 weeks.
to be honest i am no0t surprised at all giving that the trend nowadays is to be as "politically correct" as possible even at the expense of key moral issues.

in my opinion, the problem is that the MPs are NOT the people to take this decision on our behalf. this is a deep medical-philosophical-religious-cultural issue, and quiet frankly.. they are not fit for the job. what most people care about when voting to elect members of the parliament is maily economy... that's why majority of muslims voted Labour in the last general elections despite the iraq war!

i believe there is enough medical data to support reducing the limit to 22 weeks. the old law is outdated, and viability has increased to a point where a reduction is resonable
