Farage abortion plans would have ‘catastrophic consequences for women’
Nigel Farage accused of following ‘Trumpian playbook’ on abortion
- Campaigners have raised concerns over Reform UK leader Nigel Farage's calls for stricter abortion laws, saying his plans could have "catastrophic consequences for women".
- Mr Farage said that allowing abortions up to 24 weeks is "ludicrous" and believes the law is "totally out of date", advocating for a debate on implementing stricter time limits.
- Stella Creasy, a Labour MP, criticised Mr Farage's comments as part of a "Trumpian playbook", suggesting a coordinated effort to restrict abortion access through seemingly reasonable measures.
- Tonia Antoniazzi, another Labour MP, is campaigning for an amendment to decriminalise abortion, arguing that "no woman should have Nigel Farage dictating their reproductive rights".
- The British Pregnancy Advisory Service has said there is no medical justification for reducing the abortion time limit.
