Campaigner Heidi Crowter says she will keep fighting and take her case to the Supreme Court.
A woman with Down's syndrome has lost her appeal over a law that allows abortion up until birth for a foetus with the condition.Judges at the Court of Appeal decided the Abortion Act did not interfere with the rights of the living disabled.
Under current legislation for England, Wales and Scotland, there is a 24-week time limit for abortion, unless "there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped", which includes Down's syndrome. The case was brought by Ms Crowter and Maire Lea-Wilson, 33, from west London, whose son Aidan has Down's syndrome.
