UKIP candidate suspended for 'abhorrent' views on abortion

In the UK, a UKIP candidate has been suspended for comments on abortion.

Geoffrey Clark suggested compulsory terminations should be considered for foetuses with Down's syndrome or Spina Bifida.

The would-be Kent county councillor said if born, they would become a "burden on the state as well as on the family".

The party has apologised, calling the views "abhorrent".
