'People with Down's syndrome live amazing lives'
A woman with Down's syndrome has mounted a legal challenge against the government, claiming current UK abortion laws amount to disability discrimination.
Heidi Carter, 25, from Coventry has crowdfunded to take a landmark case to the High Court which will be heard on 6 and 7 July.
She is challenging the government over a clause in the current law which allows abortion up to birth for a foetus with Down's syndrome.
