Change UK law
Universe / Christian Concern
It was reported on 13 September that the
UN recently told the UK to change it’s abortion law which allows disabled babies to be
aborted up to birth.
The UN strongly criticised Britain’s record
on disability rights when its Committee on
the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(CRPD) called on the British Government
to take action in order to provide better support for inclusion for those suffering from
disabilities. The CRPD expressed
serious
concern about higher
levels of poverty
among
the disabled, an
increase
in hate
speech and bullying, and the number of people institutionalised in the UK.
