One kingdom, four nations

Abortion law and abolitionist activity differ across the UK. Choose your nation to see the situation where you live — and to reach the people working there.

• England

  The 1967 Act framework; the large majority of UK abortions; decriminalisation moves in Westminster.

• Scotland

  Abortion law devolved since 2016; the 1967 Act applies; safe access zones in force.

• Wales

  Shares the England & Wales legal framework; health is devolved.

• Northern Ireland

  A permissive framework imposed by Westminster in 2019–2020 over devolved objection.
