25th Anniversary Of Abortion Act 1967
EDM number 1863 in 1992-93, proposed by Helen Jackson on 26/04/1993.
That this House notes that 27th April marks the 25th anniversary of the implementation of the Abortion Act 1967; also notes that before abortion was legalised about 40 women each year died as a result of back-street abortion; endorses and supports the provisions of the Abortion Act 1967 which fundamentally extended women's reproductive choice; and calls for an extension of this choice by ensuring the NHS medical abortion services are developed country-wide to allow women with an unwanted pregnancy a safe and legal method of abortion.
This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs, 4 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
