Tory MP Nadine Dorries, an ex-nurse, who proposed the 20-week limit, said she was not anti-abortion, but said the baby involved "had rights". But her proposed cut was defeated by 332 votes to 190. MPs also voted down plans for a 12 or 16 week limit. Pro-choice campaigners dismissed efforts to cut the limits as "cynical".
