The Sunday Times ran a vital story today: that abortions of foetuses with Down's syndrome are being hidden, and recorded as social abortions in their hundreds each year.
Those of you who follow this blog, will know that this is a a subject that I am passionate about exposing. When I gave Evidence in a Parliamentary Inquiry into the current disability abortion law in Westminster, the evidence, the anecdotes, the facts and figures, the shady discrepancies of data between organisations, the gentle push on women to terminate, the subtle language that presents that as the only option made a very profound effect on me.
I became determined, alongside many other passionate parents and support groups, that every parent should be given unbiased facts before making an informed decision about continuing their pregnancy or not. They should be fully supported whatever their decision, but all too often this is not happening.
