Decriminalising abortion  ‘profoundly irresponsible’

Decriminalising abortion would be “profoundly irresponsible”, an MP warns, days before Parliament are expected to vote on the issue.

Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi has tabled the amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill completely removing women from the criminal law relating to the abortion of their own pregnancies.

MPs are currently set to get a free vote on the proposed amendment. If passed, women could abort their babies up to full term for any reason without criminal repercussions.
