New proposals could lead to abortion on demand – pro-life group Labour MP Stella Creasy

A prominent pro-life group has criticised proposals made by Labour MP, Stella Creasy, to remove any criminal sanction for those involved with abortion.

Commenting on the June 5 Westminster emergency debate on abortion, Dawn McAvoy, co-founder of Both Lives Matter said: “Stella Creasey wants full decriminalisation which would leave abortion largely unregulated. It could allow anyone to have an abortion, anywhere, for any reason, by any method.”

She added that the pro-life group are deeply concerned about attempts from Westminster to change the law on abortion in Northern Ireland as it could remove “critical” protection from the life of the unborn child.
