If you want to read up on the background to this measure (which has been described as the effective sterilisation of women with epilepsy) here by @R_Arkell blogs.bmj.com/medical-ethics…

Today the PM issued some cold and borderline inhuman rhetoric on benefit reforms. Again he wants to make life harder for Disabled and vulnerable people after announcing a "chilling" set of reforms to force people back to work. This persecution has to end. theguardian.com/politics/202…
