We must rally to defeat these evil amendments.
A reminder that if either of these amendments pass, it will represent the biggest expansion of abortion since 1967.
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 17, 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 defeat these evil amendments. Please come to the webinar to find out how!
With best wishes,
