RCN Survey 'Signals Support' for Decriminalisation of Abortion
2 May 2018
Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) have “signalled support” for removing criminal sanctions from termination of pregnancy legislation, said the body in the wake of a consultation.
It revealed today that the results of a UK-wide poll of RCN members showed 73.7% of respondents had voted in favour of removing criminal sanctions from legislation relating to abortion.
The move was sparked by the debate taking place across the country, in parliament and in health organisations about removing criminal sanctions from termination of pregnancy legislation.
