Rejected petition Protect and enshrine the right to a safe abortion in the UK
In the wake of a massive restriction on bodily autonomy in the states and increased legal persecution of LGBT and women across the world, we would like the UK government to guarantee the absolute protection of the access to a legal, safe abortion as a British civilian right.
More details
According to WHO, at least 22,800 women die from illegal abortions every year. We've fought hard for women's rights in this country and we must protect the rights we have won above all else.
