A Labour MP, Tonia Antoniazzi, is pushing to decriminalise abortion following the revelation that over 100 women have been prosecuted under the current laws in England and Wales. Currently, abortion is illegal unless specific conditions are met, which can lead to vulnerable women facing legal action. The urgency for reform was highlighted by the case of Nicola Packer, who was wrongly prosecuted for taking abortion pills at home beyond the legal limit. Medical associations support the amendment, stressing that the laws are outdated and harmful.
Tonia Antoniazzi stated that the current situation regarding abortion laws is "unacceptable" and has led to the prosecution of vulnerable women, urging decriminalization to protect them.
Recent investigations have shown that police have prosecuted more than 100 women under abortion laws in recent years, emphasizing the need for legal reform in this area.
