The Christian Medical Foundation is lobbying the government hard over the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill currently being discussed in parliament, in favour of reducing the time limit on abortions. The Christian Medical Foundation was recently exposed when at least eight of its members gave evidence to the government Inquiry by the Science and Technology Committee into the future of abortion law in Britain which claimed that abortion harmed a woman's health - without disclosing their
membership of the CMF (see
