Abortion rights

Early day motion 216, tabled 28 June 2022 by Charlotte Nichols (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House is deeply concerned at the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to overturn the longstanding Roe v Wade decision that provided federal protection for the right for women to choose an abortion and maintain the safety and autonomy of their bodies; fears that consequent restrictions across swathes of the US will harm millions of women and that the loss of safe services will lead to many unnecessary deaths; sends solidarity and support to the majority of the US population who oppose this appalling decision; and reaffirms the right for women in the UK to access safe, legal abortion procedures.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Scottish National Party 7, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent 3, Plaid Cymru 3, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, Green 1.
