Nigel Farage has expressed his desire to reduce the UK’s abortion limit from 24 weeks, advocating for a parliamentary debate on women’s reproductive rights. He argues that parliament should be allowed more time “to debate things that people at home talk about”. However, Louise McCudden highlighted research indicating that up to 90% of people in the UK support pro-choice policies, raising doubts about the relevance of Farage’s discussions.
Heidi Stewart spoke up about Farage’s comment saying that “despite what anti-abortion campaigns have MPs think, rolling back women’s hard-won rights” does not reflect the interests of the general public. McCudden argued that reducing “the time limit is based on ideology and is not supported by clinical evidence”.
Farage aims to lower the abortion limit to 22 weeks, but McCudden cautioned against the dangers that would come from this change. She noted that while most women get an abortion under 10 weeks, those who need an abortion around 20 and 24 weeks “are usually sensitive factors involved, such as medical complications with a wanted pregnancy, or an abuser preventing their partner from seeking care sooner.” Additionally.
Farage has voiced his approval of Donald Trump’s recent win in the US election and is looking forward to seeing how Trump is going to adjust the US abortion law. Farage is hopeful that Reform will win the next general election, as he hopes he will be able to follow Trump’s actions. Additionally, Farage has voiced his approval of Donald Trump’s recent election victory, expressing anticipation for potential shifts in US abortion legislation. He is optimistic about the prospects for his party, Reform, in the upcoming general election, hoping to align with Trump’s policy changes.
