Apparently here in the UK abortions are still a criminal offence unless we meet certain criteria, not over 24wks pregnant (unless health complications for the mother or carrying a severely disabled baby) and have 2 doctors approval. https://apple.news/A7hf3oK96QUGBe9cZfhrjFA

UK ladies - please get involved if you can to keep this right, and also to protect yourselves. Once this movement gets a foothold into your political system, it's hard to stop.
It's not like having an abortion is a fun party trick. No woman is out there doing this for fun. It's an invasive procedure and it's rage inducing that a corpse may have more rights than a woman - you have to have consent to harvest organs, even for a good life saving cause, the body autonomy of a woman should not be less than that ability to give consent to what's happening to her body.
Abortions in the UK do have conditions attached, but it’s still relatively easy to get one. One of the five conditions is if giving birth with severely harm the mental or physical health of the mother. Giving birth to a child the woman does not want falls under that condition. BPAS and Marie Stopes are really great providers and will approve any woman up to 24 weeks. That being said, women in the UK cannot afford to be complacent. We have MPs (at least 99 of them!) that would ban abortion tomorrow if they could. Remember this at the next election (whenever it comes!).
