Heidi Crowter argued that allowing pregnancy terminations up to birth if the foetus has Down’s syndrome is discriminatory
A woman with Down’s syndrome who took Sajid Javid to court over the UK’s abortion law has lost her case in the high court.
Heidi Crowter, who brought the case alongside Máire Lea-Wilson whose son Aidan has Down’s syndrome, argued that allowing pregnancy terminations up to birth if the foetus has Down’s syndrome is discriminatory and stigmatises disabled people.
