“Lois McLatchie Miller – Unpacking the Lords’ Vote: Decriminalising Abortion Up to Birth in the UK”
“Lois McLatchie Miller examines the House of Lords’ recent vote on an amendment to the Police and Crime Bill that removes criminal penalties for abortions after 24 weeks of pregnancy. She outlines the existing UK legal framework, including the 2021 Pills by Post scheme, relevant cases such as Carla Foster, and the gap between the decision and public polling. The conversation also addresses parliamentary attendance, the Church’s response, and the need for improved support for women facing unplanned pregnancies, along with the broader ethical and policy implications.”
