Bonnie Blue waded into Britain's abortion debate from Nottinghamshire, telling the Daily Star that women who have abortions after 22 weeks are 'stupid and irresponsible' and urging her political ally Nigel Farage to 'step up' and push to tighten UK law.
Abortion is currently legal in England, Scotland and Wales up to 23 weeks and six days of pregnancy. Campaigners pressing for change say that since some babies born at 22 weeks can now survive with intensive care, the legal time limit is out of step with medical reality. Others, including major medical charities, argue that later abortions are rare, usually linked to severe foetal abnormalities or serious risks to the mother's health, and that restricting access would punish vulnerable women rather than protect babies.
