The issue of access to abortion care has jumped up the agenda following the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn legal protections across the Atlantic. Millions of women in the US are losing their right to abortions, with over half of US states expected to restrict or ban the medical procedure. Abortions are still by default deemed a criminal act in England, Scotland and Wales under the 1967 Abortion Act. Pregnancies may only be terminated under the terms of the act with the confirmation of two doctors, who must agree that continuing with the pregnancy would be riskier for the physical or mental health or the woman than aborting it. Does the this violate women rights ?
