I have started to think we would have been better off if we would have remained the British colonies now that the religious fanatics control of half the U.S. population and have started to destroy democracy. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abortion in the United Kingdom is legally available through the Abortion Act 1967 in Great Britain, and the Abortion (Northern Ireland) (No.2) Regulations 2020. In England, Scotland, and Wales, abortion is permitted on the grounds of: risk to the life of the pregnant woman; preventing grave permanent injury to her physical or mental health; risk of injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman or any existing children of her family (up to a term limit of 24 weeks of gestation); or substantial risk that, if the child were born, he or she would "suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped".[1] The third ground is typically interpreted liberally with regards to mental health to create a de facto state of abortion on demand, and nearly all abortions—98% in 2019 and 2020—are performed to protect the woman's mental health.[2] In Northern Ireland, abortion is permitted on similar grounds, although the law also permits abortion in the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy for any reason, as is also the case in the rest of Ireland.[3]
