Crowter & Anor, R (On the Application Of) v The Secretary of State for Health And Social Care [2022] EWCA Civ 1559 (25 November 2022)

The Appellants have Down’s syndrome. Their case on this appeal is that legislation which permits the abortion, without any restriction, of a foetus which is liable to be born seriously handicapped discriminates against people with handicaps by sending a message that their lives are less valuable.
