Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:

“The Crime and Policing Bill now being debated in the House of Lords is a lengthy and important piece of legislation, which has been detaining peers, in our capacity as a revising chamber, for the past two and half months.

Most of the country, however, will be unaware that a clause, unrelated to this bill, had been sneaked in via an amendment in the name of the Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, after just 46 minutes of backbench debate in the House of Commons.

This is Clause 191, entitled ‘Removal of Women from the criminal law related to abortion’. It removes all remaining legal invigilation of women regarding abortion, allowing a mother-to-be to abort her baby, up to full term, for any reason at all, including its sex. [J4MB emphasis.]

This clause passed the Commons without any evidence, scrutiny or public consultation. It is a reckless and radical proposal, with implications both for the mental and physical health of the mother, and disastrous consequences for the child.”
