Peers in the House of Lords are set to vote on amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill that aim to block controversial proposals allowing abortion up to birth. The amendments, backed by notable female peers, seek to remove the decriminalisation measures and reinstate mandatory consultations with medical professionals before prescribing abortion pills. Baroness Monckton described the Commons-backed proposals as “reckless and radical,” warning of potential health implications for mothers and children.
