EDM number 344A2 in 1997-98, proposed by Ann Winterton on 30/10/1997.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'expresses its sadness that in the 30 years since the introduction of the Abortion Act 1967 as amended by the Human Fertilisation and Embroyology Act 1990 over 4.5 million unborn children have been aborted; notes that in a significant percentage of cases psychological or psychiatric disturbances occur in women who have had an induced abortion; further notes that from the outset the Act has allowed abortion virtually on demand despite opinion poll evidence that the majority of the public are opposed to such a policy; and further notes that laws protecting unborn children are no bar to the well being of women and familiesas can be clearly seen in Northern Ireland where maternal mortality and child death rates resulting from violence (including terrorist activities) are the lowest of any region in the United Kingdom.'.
