Should it be a baby's right to life or a woman's right to choose? The age-old debate is one that provokes a strong emotional response, no matter what your belief. Yesterday, it was the turn of doctors to consider whether medical advances, which mean a baby born at 24 weeks has a "viable" chance of survival, should result in the legal time limit for abortions being lowered. Delegates voted 77pc against the motion, believing that late abortions were distressing, but often necessary if a pregnancy was detected late or severe abnormalities were discovered.
