4d Ultrasound Pictures Of The Unborn Child

EDM number 1508 in 2003-04, proposed by Jim Dobbin on 13/07/2004.

That this House welcomes the amazing 4D ultrasound pictures of the unborn child taken by Professor Stuart Campbell; believes that these beautiful images of the unborn child walking, smiling and opening and closing its eyes from as early as 12 weeks gestation illustrate even more compellingly the humanity of the unborn child; welcomes the willingness of many individuals to reconsider their long held views on abortion; notes that Lord Steel of Aikwood, the architect of the Abortion Act 1967, has called for a reduction of the time limit for abortions to 12 weeks gestation; welcomes the statement of the Prime Minister that new scientific evidence should be taken into account; and urges the Government to take steps to reduce the number of abortions and to protect the unborn child.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
