British Parliament Rejects Bill That Would Have Required Counseling, Waiting Period For Women Seeking Abortions
Winterton said she is disappointed the bill did not pass, adding, "Young people need time to think about things to make the right decision for them. (A woman) should be armed with the facts about the possible dis-benefits for her in later life. It's not patronizing, it's actually being kind to the young woman" (Guardian, 6/5).
Laura Moffat, a Labour Party member of Parliament, said the bill represents an "attack on women's productive rights," adding, "When a woman is facing an unwanted pregnancy she will already be under great stress, to create further obstacles for her is completely unethical in my view." Moffat also said that "abortion on demand" does not exist in Britain, as all women are required to consider other options with two medical practitioners before undergoing the procedure (BBC News, 6/5).
