London, England (LifeNews.com) -- When members of the British Parliament consider an amendment next week that would place more limits on late-term abortions, Prime Minister Gordon Brown will not support the move. Some lawmakers hope to reduce the allowance from 24 weeks into pregnancy to 20 weeks.
Brown based his decision on some research showing little or no improvement in the survival rates for premature babies, even though abortions as late as 24 weeks are done on babies who are healthy.
