British lawmakers have backed the most significant change to abortion law in decades, voting in favour of an amendment to decriminalise abortions up to the moment of birth.
Under current British law, abortion is technically illegal. Still, it is decriminalised during the first 24 weeks of a pregnancy and in some limited cases beyond if the life of the mother is in danger. Over a quarter-million abortions take place legally in England and Wales under this system a year.
However, on Tuesday afternoon, the MPs backed an amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill by a margin of 379 MPs in favour to 137 against to decriminalise abortions at any time for women in England and Wales, the BBC reported. This would effectively end the ability of the state to prosecute women who intentionally end their pregnancies up to the moment of birth.
The legislation, put forward by left-wing Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi, would not apply to doctors or others who assist in carrying out abortions without authorisation past the 24-week mark.
Antoniazzi told the parliament that “these women need care and support, and not criminalisation”.
“Each one of these cases is a travesty, enabled by our outdated abortion law,” she said. “Originally passed by an all-male parliament elected by men alone, this Victorian law is increasingly used against vulnerable women and girls.”
The move was criticised by pro-life advocates, including the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), which said that it was “horrified” by the vote.
SPUC public policy manager Alithea Williams said: “If this clause becomes law, a woman who aborts her baby at any point in pregnancy, even moments before birth, would not be committing a criminal offence.”
“Now, even the very limited protection afforded by the law is being stripped away,” she added.

Demographics is destiny. This abortion change brings closer the point where the “Asians” will take over UK.
Horrifying.
Why not allow up to 6 months old? Some people might change their minds.
Very.
“”British lawmakers have backed the most significant change to abortion law in decades, voting in favour of an amendment to decriminalise abortions up to the moment of birth.””
Meanwhile... Satan smiles and nods with approval of his very useful UK minions.
Guess who won’t be aborting? Muslims.
Goodbye, Britain.
The UK must be one of the few countries not experiencing birth-rate decline.

The NWO is taking over.
Gorillas are okay. Just not people.

Soon Muslims will be 25% the population. Most British people don’t vote but ALL Muslims see it as their duty while also having multiple wives and lots of Mohammeds. The Muslims also love grooming and raping native British. The country is dead and doesn’t know it.
Almost. Remember? “Make baby comfortable and then a conversation ensues between the doctor and the mother”. Dr. Mengele is nervously smoking a cigarette around the corner.
My, how the mighty have fallen.
It's good to know that abortions are still illegal after birth.
Why not just say "decriminize abortions altogether?"

Please President Trump, urge Senators Thune and Schumer to get America out of Nato. First.
NO!
Lol. Satan laughs. Who’s going to fight us NOW?! Not the current generation of pansies.
Mollach must be sated...
England is on its last legs. They are truly imploding. Muslims taking over their nation, jailing people for speech and thought crimes, murdering children in the womb. They are doomed.
Are they still pretending that infanticide is not next?
