UK votes to decriminalise abortion after prosecutions of some women
Briefly

The British Parliament has taken a significant step by voting to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales, driven by alarming investigations involving over 100 women for suspected illegal abortions. This amendment aims to protect vulnerable women from criminal charges related to abortion, particularly those who suffer natural miscarriages. Lawmakers highlight the cruelty of current laws, which could impose life imprisonment, as well as new changes allowing easier access to abortion services. The amendment was approved by a substantial majority and awaits further legislative processes.
This piece of legislation will only take women out of the criminal justice system because they are vulnerable and they need our help, she said.
Just what public interest is this serving? This is not justice, it is cruelty and it has got to end.
