Pregnancy doctors back abortion on demand with no criminal sanctions

The leaders of Britain’s pregnancy doctors have voted to support abortion on demand, despite a revolt from members.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists tonight formally demanded the full decriminalisation of terminations at any stage in a pregnancy.
The influential body will now lobby Government for a change in the law, aping the stance of Britain’s doctors’ union, the British Medical Association, which voted for decriminalisation in June.
