[National Down Syndrome Policy Group @NDSPolicyGroup]

Support @LiamFox’s #NC34 amendment that addresses outdated & discriminatory practices associated with Down syndrome. It would mean pregnant women will no longer be offered abortions after 24 weeks purely on the basis that the baby has Down syndrome
How you can help ⬇️

Discrimination starts before birth for people with #DownSyndrome & can set a life-long precedent. Given advances in medical science it’s time to reconsider outdated, discriminatory laws.@PennyMordaunt @StephenMorganMP @cj_dinenage will you be voting @liamfox's amendment #NC34?

So proud of this little legend! Everyday she shows me what she CAN do if shes given the opportunity.

I did it. 🥳
Thanks for all the support. The @PortsmouthDSA cheer crews definitely got me round. I smashed my PB with an time of 01:29:54. Special shout-out to @BrooksStaceyL for putting up with all the time spent on my training runs.
