Well she was pro-abortion.
RE: Well she was pro-abortion.
Margaret Thatcher’s stance on abortion is a bit complex. Here’s a breakdown:
* Voted for legalization: Notably, she voted in favor of the 1967 Abortion Act, which legalized abortion in certain circumstances. This was a progressive stance at the time.
* Supported some restrictions: Later, she expressed openness to amending the law to restrict abortion access, though not a complete ban for cases such as rape or incest. She believed there should be a balance and opposed using abortion as birth control.
* Abstained from key votes: Interestingly, she abstained from voting on private member’s bills that aimed to significantly reduce the legal timeframe for abortions.
