MPs are launching a new push to expand our already horrific abortion laws even further. Abortion advocates in Parliament are seeking to hijack the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill by tabling amendments to remove abortion from the criminal law.
New Clause 1, tabled by Tonia Antoniazzi MP, seeks to change criminal law so that “no offence is committed by a woman acting in relation to her own pregnancy” at any gestation. This means that a woman who induced her abortion at home using pills (or any other method) at any stage of pregnancy, including just before natural birth, would not commit a crime.
New Clause 20, tabled by Stella Creasy MP, is even more extreme. It completely repeals the laws that form the legal underpinning of the current abortion law, meaning that there’d be no way to bring an abusive partner who causes the death of an unborn baby to justice.
We must rally to defeat these evil amendments. The dates for the debates have now been confirmed: the Report stage (Day 1) will be on Tuesday 17th June and Day 2 will be on Wednesday 18th June.
Please contact your MP, asking him/her to oppose and vote against new clauses 1 and 20 to the Crime and Policing Bill.
Separately, a debate was held on the subject of decriminalisation on 2nd June in Westminster Hall. Such debates cannot change the law but raise awareness of an issue.
Briefings on both amendments and recent polling can be found below.
