An MP has called on the Government to require pain relief for all babies undergoing medical procedures in the womb from at least twelve weeks’ gestation – including abortion.
Carla Lockhart MP has launched a parliamentary motion in the light of the evidence that unborn babies may feel pain at this stage of life.
So far, a total of 25 MPs from the SNP, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and DUP have given their support to the ‘Fetal Pain’ Early Day Motion (EDM).
