Decriminalise abortion to protect the rights of women seeking abortion
We want the Government to reform legislation governing abortion so that no woman can be convicted of a criminal offence for seeking an abortion.
No one should live with the fear of prosecution for accessing vital medical care. There is a clear need for urgent action.
According to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, the leading provider of abortion services in the UK, the number of women facing criminal investigation under UK abortion law is increasing. This means more women are facing lengthy police investigations, and could face a life sentence if convicted of an offence under the Offences Against the Person Act. This causes unnecessary stress and trauma.
