London, England (LifeNews.com) -- A plurality of Britons favor limits on late-term abortions according to a new poll taken in advance of a potential vote. The British parliament will likely vote in the next two months on an amendment to a human cloning bill that would reduce the limit on late-term abortions from 24 weeks into pregnancy to 20 weeks.

A YouGov poll of 2,311 British adults conducted on March 13 and 14 found just 35 percent want to keep the current law allowing abortions up to 24 weeks.

Another 48 percent want to limit abortions to 20 weeks into pregnancy and another 8 percent of those polled want to ban abortions altogether.

Last year, a group of members of Parliament called for a stricter time limit on abortions, but they failed to get approval for their measure with a 20-week limit.

In the next two-three months, the House of Commons will vote on the embryo bill allowing scientists to create human-animal hybrids. During consideration of the bill, a vote is expected on the late-term abortion limits.

Though the amendment would limit late-term abortions on healthy unborn children, abortions on disabled babies would still be allowed as late as 35 weeks into pregnancy. That has caused some pro-life advocates to oppose the abortion limit vote.
