Farage calls for MPs to debate reducing abortion time limit
The Guardian
|November 29, 2024
Nigel Farage has said MPs should look at rolling back Britain's abortion limit from 24 weeks, in a signal that he could try to open up a debate about women's reproductive rights.
The Reform UK leader was speaking at a press conference as he unveiled the former Tory minister Andrea Jenkyns as a recruit to Reform UK, announcing she would be its candidate for mayor of Lincolnshire.
Responding to questions about the assisted dying bill, which he will vote against, Farage said MPs should be allowed more time "to debate things that people at home talk about".
"Is 24 weeks right for abortion given that we now save babies at 22?" he said.
"That to me would be worthy of a debate in parliament but should that be along party lines? I don't think so."
