“We need you to stand up for access to safe, legal abortion and the right to impartial information.
The Department of Health is planning to introduce new counselling requirements for women seeking abortion, which could limit their access to impartial advice and delay access to services.
Based on amendments to the Health and Social Care Bill, the proposals strip abortion providers of the right to provide pre-abortion counselling, and could see anti-choice groups invited to offer pregnancy counselling in their place.
The purpose of these proposals is to limit access to impartial information and deter women from having the procedure. We believe they are damaging, unnecessary and should be rejected.
The amendments could be debated and voted on in the House of Commons as early as 6th or 7th September.
We want to make sure MPs know the facts about what these changes would mean for women and hear the views of the pro-choice majority who support the right to safe, legal abortion in this country.”
Sign the petition against this sexist attack by the government - it is a woman’s right to choose!
