I wonder if they will reveal the race of the aborted fetus?

The Department of Health has lost a court battle to keep secret some details on abortion statistics.

The government was challenging an Information Tribunal decision but data on late abortions must now be disclosed.

The court case follows an application by an anti-abortion group, the ProLife Alliance, for the publication of all data on abortion in England and Wales.

The Department of Health is considering whether to appeal against the ruling.

It said in a statement: "The Department will now consider the implications of this judgment and the options available."

Speaking outside the High Court, Josephine Quintavalle of the ProLife Alliance said: "The resistance of the Department of Health is extraordinary."
