Abortion Law Reform (EDM346)

Abortion Law Reform

EDM number 346 in 1997-98, proposed by John Austin on 27/10/1997.

That this House believes that the Abortion Act 1967 should be reformed to allow abortion on request in early pregnancy, to require NHS purchasing authorities to meet their local need for abortion and to extend to Northern Ireland the law as it applies to Britain, thus ending the discrimination against women in Northern Ireland who are denied legal abortion in their own locality.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
