British House of Lords Will Debate Measure for Abortions Up to Birth

We expect the abortion amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill to be debated and voted on by the House of Lords at Report Stage on Wednesday 18 March. This is the last chance for the Lords to amend the Bill before it is sent back to the Commons.

We have seen considerable opposition to the proposal to decriminalise abortion in the previous debates in the Lords. We need to turn that opposition into a concrete vote to remove this clause – which, lest we forget, will legalise self-induced abortions up to birth.
