Submission to a Inquiry into Abortion on the Grounds of Disability

Published: 11th March 2013

A cross party Parliamentary Inquiry has been set up to review the law on abortion for disability, with a particular focus on whether it is discriminatory or not. The Inquiry is also reviewing whether the current law on abortion on the grounds of disability should be amended or developed and if information and guidance provided to families following a diagnosis of disability could be improved.
