Yes, abortion is legal in England, but it's subject to certain restrictions: Abortion Act 1967: This act legalized abortion in England, Wales, and Scotland on certain grounds. Gestation limit: Abortions are legal up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy. Doctor approval: Two independent doctors must approve the abortion. Location: Abortions must be performed in an NHS hospital or a place approved by the Secretary of State. Later-term procedures: There are stricter conditions for later-term procedures, such as in cases of severe fetal abnormalities or risks to the mother's health. Some other things to know about abortion in England include: The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990 lowered the gestation limit from 28 weeks to 24 weeks. In 2018, women in England and Wales were allowed to take the second of the two abortion pills, misoprostol, at home. In 2022, there were 251,377 abortions for women resident in England and Wales, the highest number since the Abortion Act was introduced. Access to abortion varies by region depending on the services commissioned at a local level. Some call for an overhaul of reproductive justice laws in the country.
