Former DPP 'encouraged abortion on demand’
High Court case disputes decision by Sir Keir Starmer, the former DPP turned Labour MP, not to bring charges after Telegraph exposé
Britain's abortion laws will be challenged in a ground-breaking High Court case this week over the failure to prosecute doctors accused of agreeing to terminate a pregnancy on the grounds of gender.
Lawyers acting for a 22-year-old pro-life campaigner will accuse Sir Keir Starmer, the former Director of Public Prosecutions, of making a political decision not to bring charges against the doctors.
Sir Keir quit as head of the Crown Prosecution Service two years ago and is now a Labour MP and one of Jeremy Corbyn’s front-bench spokesmen on home affairs.
