On September 1st 2021 the American state of Texas introduced a new law on abortion, making it virtually impossible for women to access a legal abortion after the 6th week of pregnancy. In this video I discuss the implications of banning abortion, both for the women of Texas, but also for women around the world.

How do you make your abortion legal?
As we explored in video 1, abortion is illegal in Britain. Ending a pregnancy becomes legal if it is performed in line with the requirements outlined in the Abortion Act 1967. But, the law only makes it legal for a doctor to provide an abortion. The law does not give women the right to access abortion, as I explore in this video.
If you are pregnant and you need help and support, including advice about abortion, then contact the British Pregnancy Advisory Service or MSI Reproductive Choices UK.
