Misleading headlines claim UK legalised abortion until birth

Cikk tartalma röviden

On March 18, the House of Lords voted to decriminalise women who terminate pregnancies, not to legalise abortion until birth as misreported. The amendment aims to remove criminal liability for women while maintaining existing abortion laws. This decision follows concerns over outdated laws prosecuting women for abortions. The UK is not alone in this movement, as many EU countries have also taken steps towards decriminalisation, with France leading by constitutional guarantee of abortion rights.
