Thomas McAvoy
From Skeptical Voter Wiki
Thomas McAvoy was the Labour MP for Rutherglen and Hamilton West before standing down at the 2010 general election.
Abortion
In May 2008 in the abortion amendments to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill (now Act), Thomas McAvoy voted for the abortion time limit to be lowered to 12 weeks against scientific and medical consensus which is currently 24 weeks[1]. After four separate parliamentary votes on varying time limits, the majority of MPs voted to keep the abortion time limit at 24 weeks, in keeping with scientific and medical consensus, hence no abortion amendments were added to the bill.
