A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE

Early day motion 83, tabled 6 June 1997 by Teresa Gorman (Conservative). Signed by 48 members.

That this House deplores the recent attempt brought before the courts in Scotland to overturn a woman's right to decide for herself whether she wants to become a mother; and, in order to avoid the risk to a woman's health caused by the delay and the distress which such actions bring, calls for clarification to reaffirm the legal position which allows for termination in well defined circumstances.

Signatures by party: Labour 41, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Labour/Co-operative 2.
