Kim Leadbeater

Labour — Spen Valley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2025

Debate

Decriminalising Abortion

Contribution

I thank my hon. and learned Friend for introducing this important debate. Does he agree that at the heart of this discussion are some key principles, such as compassion, which he mentioned, as well as choice and bodily autonomy? Whatever stage we are at in our lives, it is important that we are allowed to make choices about our own bodies, free from the fear of criminalisation or judgment.
