The House of Lords voted 180 to 58 to pardon women convicted or cautioned for illegal abortions and remove their records from police systems, protecting them from permanent disclosure.
- House of Lords supported by 180 votes to 58 a pardon for women convicted of illegal abortions, backing Lady Thornton’s amendment.
- Following MPs' vote last year, Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi pushed the change after seeing women investigated, while efforts mirror calls to repeal the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act.
- Justice minister Baroness Levitt told peers that the government maintains a neutral stance on abortion in England and Wales, after peers rejected amendments by 185–148 and 191–119.
- Pardons would apply to women convicted or cautioned for illegal abortion, removing their details from police record systems and ending DBS checks disclosure requirements.
- Telemedical abortion began with March 2020 lockdown changes and was made permanent in 2022, allowing home use of pills up to nine weeks and six days while pro‑choice and pro‑life campaigners protested outside the House of Lords.
