The British Medical Association decided to back abortion on demand at their annual representative meeting in Bournemouth in June.
Speaking afterwards, Dr Peter Saunders of the Christian Medical Fellowship (CMF) commented: ‘This defies common sense and the BMA will dismay thousands of ordinary doctors and nurses with their unprecedented decision.
‘What the BMA has chosen to do is back abortion on demand without restriction including on length of gestation and sex. Anyone will be able to carry out an abortion anywhere by any means in any place at any gestation for any reason. Should Parliament legislate similarly, we would be only the third country in the world after China and Canada to remove all safeguards to unborn children.’
