This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Abortion Legislation Bill. This amendment would ensure abortion, as defined in new section 2 of the Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act 1977 and done with the consent of the pregnant person, is no longer criminalised. This better reflects a health-based approach to abortion services. As with other medical procedures, there are offences under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 and the Medicines Act 1981 available to manage risks associated with unqualified providers. This is a more appropriate response than a criminal offence. This amendment would also clarify that the offence of killing an unborn child applies only to death to an unborn child caused by an assault on the pregnant person, differentiating this form of assault from an abortion sought by a pregnant person.
