Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi has tabled an amendment ahead of the Report Stage of the Crime and Policing Bill that its critics fear could see abortion up to birth being permitted in the UK.
The amendment is being described as “the biggest threat to unborn children since the Abortion Act was introduced in 1967”, says Right To Life UK.
It claims the amendment would change the law so it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason, and at any point up to and during birth.
It adds that the change to the law would apply throughout all nine months of pregnancy and would not exclude sex-selective abortions.
This would likely lead, Right to Life UK warns, to a tragic rise in the number of babies’ lives being ended through late-term abortions carried out at home.
