While parliament was moving towards more liberal abortion laws more women were being arrested or investigated

British lawmakers debate decriminalizing abortion amid concerns of police prosecuting women, with proposed amendments to protect women's rights.

Amendment to crime and policing bill will change law to end prosecution of women who terminate pregnancies

Critics say amendment could pave way for dangerous, as well as sex-selective, abortions

Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi led the call to decriminalise the 1% of abortions that happen after 24 weeks.

The amendment comes after police investigated more than 100 women, including some who had natural miscarriages.

MPs voted for the biggest change to abortion law for half a century, meaning women will no longer be prosecuted for aborting their baby for any reason and at any stage up to birth.
