A law of law aiming to eliminate abortion will be discussed at the House of Commons on Tuesday.

Two workers’ deputies, Tonia Antoniazzi and Stella Creasy made rival changes in the crime and police bill.

Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle can choose one or both changes to be discussed by MPs, but only one can choose to vote.

MPs are usually voted free of charge on abortion, so they do not have to follow any party line.

What does the current law say?

The current law in the UK and Wales states that abortion is illegal, but the first 24 weeks of pregnancy, and beyond that, permits in certain situations such as women’s life is in danger.

Abortion should be approved by two doctors who check whether one of the criteria lists are met – for example, if pregnancy pose a risk for the physical or mental health of the woman.

The latest law changes allowed women to reach pills to terminate their pregnancy after 10 weeks.

In 2022, The latest data available252,122 abortion has been reported in the UK and Wales – the highest number since registrations started.

Abortion providers have reported that the police officers received 100 medical records from the police officers according to suspicious abortion crimes in the last five years.

Last year, the abortion provider MSI said that the BBC has been aware of 60 criminal investigations in England and Wales since 2018.

In the British court, six women accused of terminating or terminating their pregnancy except for abortion law in the last three years appeared.

MSI Medical Director Jonathan Lord, the organization’s “unprecedented” number of women investigated women, the police “post post with the use of pills can be linked to the raising awareness of the raising awareness, he said.

What would Tonia Antoniazzi change?

The change of Tonia Antoniazzi aims to prevent women being investigated, arrest, trial or imprisoned for ending their own pregnancies.

He argued that the investigations are “inhuman and long and women who have to endure them are usually extraordinarily vulnerable.”

He said that the investigations may be victims of domestic abuse and violence, human trafficking and sexual exploitation victims or premature women.

“The truth is that no woman wakes up 24 weeks pregnant or more, and suddenly decides to finish her own pregnancy except for a hospital or clinic.

“But some women make choices in desperate conditions that most of us will struggle to understand. What they need is not the threat of prosecution, but compassion and encouragement.”

The change would receive penalties for medical experts and violent partners who ended pregnancy except the current law.

He received support from 176 deputies and main abortion providers.

The Association for the Protection of Born Children is an extreme and dangerous offer that the change was “effectively disrupting abortions.”

How is Stella Creasy’s change differently?

Stella Creasy aims to prevent the investigation of women who have access to abortion as a human right and at the same time terminating their own pregnancies.

Creasy said that the change is “to ensure that women are able to access safe and legal abortions, and that they have gone further than the proposal of the business colleague.

Creasy argued that the amendment of Antoniazzi would not start investigating that “the partners of abortion people or women who provide abortion will not prevent them from giving evidence as part of this process.”

It is supported by 108 deputies, but is not an abortion provider. Rachael Clarke of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, Creasy’s change is not the right way to achieve “generation change”, he said.

Speaking to Radio 4’s program last week, Mrs. Clarke said that the abortion law was “incredibly complex.”

The Association for the Protection of United Children described Creasy’s change as “more” than Antoniazzi’s addition: “There was no way to bring a abusive partner that caused the death of an unborn baby.”
