Published Date:

Cardinal Keith O'Brien said the majority of politicians had supported a number of attacks on human life with "apparent lack of reproach from conscience".
His comments came two weeks after MPs voted in favour of plans to allow scientists to carry out research on human-animal hybrids and rejected moves to cut the abortion age limit.
