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.
