Tonia Antoniazzi, along with over 50 cross-party MPs, has proposed an amendment to decriminalise abortion in the UK. Supported by members from Labour, Liberal Democrats, Green Party, and others, the amendment aims to remove women from criminal prosecution related to abortion under outdated laws. Antoniazzi emphasizes the concerning rise in criminal investigations of women post-abortion or miscarriage, asserting that the matter pertains to healthcare rather than criminal law. This proposal follows a similar effort that failed previously due to parliamentary dissolution amid a general election.
This is not a criminal law issue, this is essentially a healthcare matter.
We've seen a sharp rise in the number of women and girls facing criminal investigations.
