Closed Change abortion laws. Abortions should only be up until week 15 no later.

Closed on

U.K Abortion laws should be reduced to 15 weeks unless a threat to the baby or mothers health. This gives women plenty of time to make up their mind about their choice. Provide more sexual health education instead and provide free contraception to schools and GPs.

Some babies have survived abortions and some babies have been born premature and have survived from as early as week 20 yet our law permits abortion til week 24. Provide better support for women in sexual relations instead with better sexual health education, free contraception and guidance counselling or some sort of help with personal development and relationships. Encourage adoption instead. Fund better antenatal support. Give free counselling support to victims of rape instead.
