A Scottish Government-commissioned review has recommended decriminalising abortion and allowing terminations on request up to 24 weeks’ gestation, with scope for later abortions in certain cases based on a woman’s psychological and social circumstances. The proposals, which include widening who can authorise abortions beyond doctors, have drawn strong criticism from opponents who say they would create some of the most permissive abortion laws in Europe.
