Thanks to Liam Fox MP for clarifying ย his amendment to the Criminal Justice Bill clause to make it even more explicit about the intention. As stated before, this clause is to value people with Down syndrome equally at all times.

Weโ€™ve signed Mencap's petition calling on Department of Health and Social Care to stop people with a learning disability and autistic people being detained in mental health hospitals when they could be living in the community with the right support. Will you sign too? secure.mencap.org.uk/WasteOfLives?rโ€ฆ

A law that treats us differently because of our characteristics doesnโ€™t meet 2024 standards. Yet we have a law that does just that after 24 weeks of pregnancy where abortion can still be offered up to birth if Down syndrome is confirmed.

This really is important to at long last get this message across. It is illegal to do this to any other baby and it really should be illegal to do this to us. Please RT and email your MP to support us. bit.ly/EqualityAt24

What a moment in history - the amendment will only create the change we have highlighted. No other rights are affected. It is time for Liam Fox MP
