| As experts in law, we write to commend Diana Johnson MP for her 10-minute rule bill. The bill, which is due to be heard on 13 March, offers an important first step towards taking pre-viability abortion out of the criminal law. | |
| Abortion is currently an offence in English law by virtue of an archaic and punitive statute passed at the midpoint of the reign of Queen Victoria. Under its terms, any woman who ends her own pregnancy at any stage of gestation is potentially liable for life imprisonment. This is the harshest penalty for abortion imposed anywhere in Europe. | Abortion is currently an offence in English law by virtue of an archaic and punitive statute passed at the midpoint of the reign of Queen Victoria. Under its terms, any woman who ends her own pregnancy at any stage of gestation is potentially liable for life imprisonment. This is the harshest penalty for abortion imposed anywhere in Europe. |
| The statute is also unusual in failing to distinguish between abortions at different stages of pregnancy; many countries in Europe recognise that a woman has the right to end an early pregnancy. | The statute is also unusual in failing to distinguish between abortions at different stages of pregnancy; many countries in Europe recognise that a woman has the right to end an early pregnancy. |
| Non-consensual abortion or dangerous or negligent abortion services offered by third parties are appropriately subject to legal sanction and would remain so following the removal of specific criminal prohibitions on abortion, under general provisions of criminal law. | |
| However, in our view, the onus is now on those who wish to retain the threat of prosecuting women to explain why this offers a justifiable part of our response to the problem of unwanted pregnancy.Professor Sally SheldonKent Law School, University of KentNick BeardStudentRuth Fletcher Senior lecturer in medical law, Queen Mary University London Professor Marie FoxProfessor of law,
