The Campaign to Decriminalise Abortion

Take action now!

Help put an end to Britain’s archaic and cruel abortion law!

Later in February MPs will vote on decriminalising abortion

Tell your MP to vote to stop people being jailed for having an abortion now!

Abortion remains a criminal offence in Britain in some circumstances due to a piece of law from 1861 – before women had the right to vote!

People are increasingly being investigated, prosecuted and even imprisoned for ‘illegal abortion’ here in Britain.

Illegal abortion carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment - one of the most severe penalties in the world!

No one should be sent to jail for ending their own pregnancy.

Did you know that...

1 in 3 UK women will have an abortion in their lifetime...

But due to an archaic 19th century law, abortion can still be a criminal offence in Britain...

Last year, six women were taken to court for an ‘illegal abortion...

One woman was sent to jail...

Four women are due to go to trial this year...

People can face up to life imprisonment for having an abortion...

We have one of the most severe penalties for having an 'illegal abortion’ in the world...

More severe than South Sudan, Poland, Texas, and Syria...

Nobody should be sent to jail for having an abortion...

You can help put an end to Britain’s outdated and cruel abortion law...

Later this month (February 2024) MPs will vote on decriminalising abortion for women...
