A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE

EDM number 83 in 1997-98, proposed by Teresa Gorman on 06/06/1997.

That this House deplores the recent attempt brought before the courts in Scotland to overturn a woman's right to decide for herself whether she wants to become a mother; and, in order to avoid the risk to a woman's health caused by the delay and the distress which such actions bring, calls for clarification to reaffirm the legal position which allows for termination in well defined circumstances.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
