Bill Presented — Termination of Pregnancy (Counselling and Miscellaneous Provisions) — 5 Jun 2007 at 15:41
The majority Noes voted against a putative Bill requiring compulsory counselling and a "cooling off period" before any abortion.
That leave be given to bring in a Bill to require counselling of a pregnant woman as a condition of her consent to termination of her pregnancy; to require the pregnant woman to see a registered medical practitioner prior to receiving counselling; to introduce a minimum period of 7 days following counselling before registered medical practitioners may certify an opinion referred to in section 1(1) of the Abortion Act 1967; to require the forms used for certifying and giving notice of the reason for termination of a pregnancy to state risk to the physical and mental health of the pregnant woman as separate grounds for abortion; and for connected purposes.
