Abortion Pain Research Row

David Cameron has vocalised his support for a reduction in the abortion time limit - just hours after a government funded report claimed that unborn babies are unable to feel pain at the current abortion limit of 24 weeks.

IVF Abortion Figures Shock

Fertility experts have expressed shock and concern as post-IVF abortion figures have been released showing that over 80 British women are having terminations every year following successful fertility treatment.
