• But I’ve heard that the 24-week limit hasn’t changed?

    The 24-week limit for Ground C abortions (the ground under which the vast majority of abortions occur) has not been removed from the 1967 Abortion Act. It still applies for clinicians signing off on an abortion in a medical setting. But the underlying law on which the 1967 Act depends has now been disapplied to women, rendering it null. To repeat, women now cannot be prosecuted at all, ever, in relation to her own pregnancy, at any gestation, which includes after 24 weeks. Abortion up to the point of birth is now legal when induced by the woman herself.
