Access to birth control and abortion is crucial for women’s equality. Abortion rights are now under sustained attack, on both sides of the Atlantic, from an anti-choice lobby strengthened by George W Bush.

The sensationalist focus on later abortion is designed to confuse public and political opinion on a woman’s right to choose and win support for incremental restrictions. Actually, very few women need later abortion - for compelling reasons - and need the protection of the law.

  • Don’t let the clocks be turned back on women’s rights.
  • Now is the time to defend women’s right to choose.
  • All pro-choice supporters welcome

Abortion Rights is the national pro-choice campaign - working to defend women's rights to abortion. We are building a pro-choice movement to oppose any restrictions in women’s current rights and access to abortion, to liberalise the current UK abortion law, and to improve women’s access to and experience of abortion.
