Urge your MP to back Liam Fox MP amendment & cast a vote for equality! People with #DownSyndrome must benefit from the same rights as the vast majority of the population. Itโs time to correct 34 years of discrimination. National Down Syndrome Policy Group #EqualityAt24 Thanks to all who already have!

Currently it is legal to terminate a pregnancy of a baby who has Downโs syndrome up to the day of birth. I believe this has to be changed. Disability discrimination should be challenged.
