"The Bill was the first real opportunity in almost 20 years for pro-life or pro-abortion MPs to alter Britain's laws."

(London, England)—The Christian Institute reports that attempts at a sweeping liberalization of Britain's abortion laws have failed to reach a vote in the House of Commons.

According to the report, "seasoned observers say the abortion debates in Parliament before the summer were some of the most passionate of recent times."

Some journalists, it added, are reporting rumours that the abortion issue will come back to Parliament within the next two years, but the Government says it has no plans to introduce an abortion Bill.
