British lawmakers voted to decriminalise abortion in England and Wales, addressing concerns over investigations of women for terminated pregnancies. The House of Commons approved an amendment to a crime bill, allowing women who terminate pregnancies after 24 weeks to avoid police investigation. Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi emphasized the need for this change, citing the vulnerability of women. The amendment aims to protect women from criminal punishment, while opposition from anti-abortion groups highlights concerns about potential unrestricted access to abortion. Supporters view this as a significant reform for reproductive rights.
