Heidi Crowter and her legal team are now considering taking her case to the UK Supreme Court.

The Catholic Church in England and Wales has spoken out against the UK’s abortion law, branding it “illogical and unjust,” after a woman with Down Syndrome lost a legal challenge to the law relating to abortion and disability.

I’ve worked with Down Syndrome patients. They have the same feelings/desires/ attachments we do. She is fighting and defending for the value of her life and other disabled children that can be killed up to birth. I did not read anything about her being pregnant...

O ok.
I thought this was in reference to a pregnancy.

It's terrible people don't see the innocence of Downs folk. They see no value in their lives. And that's so sad.

Most people that know people born in that condition see them as priceless.I’m glad she is standing up for those the world calls disabled.
