More than 1,000 medical professionals have called on MPs to oppose two abortion up to birth amendments that have been tabled to the Government’s Crime and Policing Bill.

In a letter to all 650 MPs, the medics have urged MPs to reject two extreme amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill, tabled by Stella Creasy and Tonia Antoniazzi , and to instead reinstate in-person consultations with a medical professional prior to an abortion taking place at home, as proposed by Dr Caroline Johnson’s amendment.
