MPs vote to decriminalise abortion for women in England and Wales - BBC News

The vote to decriminalise the procedure is the biggest change to abortion laws in England and Wales for nearly 60 years.

Women who terminate their pregnancy outside the rules, for example after 24 weeks, will no longer be at risk of being investigated by police.


Basically women can terminate their child the day before it’s born.
 
Good. Women have full autonomy, or they are not equal in citizenship with men.

I believe that's a decision best made between a woman and her doctor. There's no reason that @Real blank also needs to be in the room with them demanding that his opinion be factored in as well.

It doesn't matter. Abortion restrictions separate men and women into different classes of citizenship.

So should men be able to decide an abortion ?

Doctors won't perform a very late stage pregnancy unless it's medically necessary.

You haven’t properly understood what the ruling means
 
Theres no laws around abortion in Canada. None. It's between a woman and her doctor. And what you fear has not been an issue.
Who's judgement do you not trust, women or doctors?

It literally means a woman of her own accord can kill her baby up to the point of birth
