LONDON, November 12, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Conservative Party, Britain's main opposition party has announced changes to its shadow cabinet. The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC) has informed LifeSite that Iain Duncan-Smith, a pro-life Catholic, has been replaced as leader of the opposition by Michael Howard.

SPUC notes that Howard has a mixed voting record on abortion and he voted in favour of destructive research on cloned human embryos in 2000. In 1997 Howard voted against a bill aimed at legalizing assisted suicide and in 2000 he voted for a bill aimed at prohibiting euthanasia by omission.
