| Do women in the UK have a ‘right’ to an abortion? |

Women in Britain do not have a right to abortion on request. However,
most people believe that they can get an abortion just by asking for
one. Even if a woman has been raped she is not automatically entitled
to an abortion. She has to convince two doctors that continuing with
the pregnancy would have a worse effect on her mental or physical
health, or on that of her existing children, than having a termination. |
