【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析]
Members of Parliaments in Britain have rejected a cut in the time limit for abortions from 24 to 22 weeks or lower. [9] In a series of votes, MPs decided by large majorities against moves to reduce the legal time limit for abortion to as little as 12 weeks. The debate in Parliament focused on whether modern medicine had increased survival rates of premature babies and in particular those born before 23 weeks.

[解析] 新闻提到，经过一系列投票，英国下议院大多数议员反对将法定终止妊娠期限减少至12周，因此这一提议被最终否决，可见少数议员还是赞成这个提议的，因此B项正确。
[点睛] 推理判断题。预读题目时可知听音重点是法定终止妊娠的时间期限。同时，应细心辨清新闻中的majorities与题干中minorities所表述的内容。
