Mr. Thompson adduced evidence regarding marital breakdown rates and the pressure involved and specifically mentioned trisomy 21, which is Down's syndrome. Is he not giving that evidence in order to make out a case that such children are more of a burden and, therefore, to somehow sanitise abortion on those grounds?
