Demonstration today: No to forced abortion

Three Court of Appeal judges have ruled that doctors must not perform an abortion on a woman with a learning disability.

The Good Council Network said in a statement this morning: "This is an absolutely brilliant outcome for the mother, her baby and their extended family.

"That said, this horrific original ruling should never have happened in the first place. It is totally unacceptable that a mother had to go to the Court of Appeal to stop the state forcing a late-term abortion on her daughter.

Please join us for a demonstration outside Parliament to:

1/ Show our solidarity with this women, her baby and her wider family who have had to go through this terrible ordeal.

2/ Stand in solidarity with all women who have been forced into an abortion in the UK, as unfortunately it likely that this is not a one-off case - and we will be calling on the Department of Health to urgently reveal how many women have been forced by a hospital to have an abortion against their will in the UK and make it clear how they will ensure no women and family will ever have to go through this again
