MP campaigns for change in abortion law

Daily Mail have a disturbing story about a former nurse, now an MP, and her campaign to reduce abortions…

Nadine Dorries, MP for mid Bedfordshire, and a former nurse, renews the campaign against late abortions.

Of her former nursing experiences, she says:

“The baby breathed. It was lying in a bedpan - it was a little boy and I saw him breathe. I said to the doctor: ‘I am going to get the crash team (emergency resuscitation medics).’

“And he got hold of my wrist, pulled me into a cubicle and said: ‘We are not on the labour ward. What are you doing?’

“He said that the only way I would be able to prove that the baby was alive was to drop him into a bucket of water and see if he floated! I ran out in tears.

“Later, the ward sister jabbed her finger at me and said: ‘You should seriously think about whether you should be a nurse.’

“What got me was the total lack of regard for human life. I have no issue with abortion at the right time. But this is murder.”

While she is campaigning for a 20-week limit now, Dorries would ideally like to see the limit reduced to the European level of 13 weeks. Recently, she watched an abortion at 19 weeks in a North London hospital.

“A baby aborted at 19 weeks is given a lethal injection into the heart. It is the most scary and unbelievably horrible thing to experience. This is Death Row.

“The needle goes into the heart and then the baby is left for 48 hours. The foetal monitor is checked until the heart stops.”
