Committee of Supply 2023 debate, Day 6: Alex Yam on reviewing gestational limits for abortion
“Let us do right by unborn children who do not have a choice to choose their chance at life," said MP Alex Yam. Speaking in Parliament on Friday (Mar 3), he called for gestational limits to be lowered to 22 weeks. He said Singapore is one of only seven countries that provide elective termination after 20 weeks and pointed out that there is increasing evidence of foetal viability in recent years with improvements in medical care.
