Abortion rights in the United States

Early day motion 28, tabled 11 May 2022 by Diane Abbott (Labour). Signed by 43 members.

That this House expresses its grave concern about the series of attacks that have been launched in the United States on a woman's right to choose; notes that the leaked opinion of the US Supreme Court overturning the judgement of Roe v Wade has been authenticated; is aware that poorer women and many from ethnic minorities already experience severe difficulties in exercising their reproductive rights and that this situation could become much worse; further notes that anti-choice campaigners in the United States are attempting to build support overseas, including in this country; and resolves to support a strong defence of a woman's right to choose in this country and internationally.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Scottish National Party 9, Liberal Democrat 7, Plaid Cymru 3, Independent 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Green 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
