Fiona Bruce MP has proposed an amendment to the Serious Crime Bill which aims to make abortion on the grounds of gender a specific criminal offence.
Bruce’s attempt to wedge sex-selective abortion into the Serious Crime Bill is the worst attack on abortion since 2008.
The sex-selective abortion amendment is a Trojan horse. It might appear to be pro-women but its purpose is to reduce reproductive rights. This amendment is nothing more than an anti-abortion campaign tactic. Designed to impinge upon a much-fought-for choice.
Abortion Rights believes that all women have the right to make their own reproductive choices based on their circumstances and choice means there’s no good or bad reasons.
