      Harsher policing of women’s bodies, just what we need right now. Can we just legalise abortion yet?

    2. So when a woman experiences the trauma of a still birth or miscarriage she will also have to go through the trauma of being treated like a criminal and subjected to a police investigation…

      I hope they’ve managed to solve every other crime. You know the rapes that have a less than 2% conviction rate. All the domestic violence people suffer through, the murders, the armed robberies, the violent assaults, etc, because this is a ridiculous waste of police time and money.

      ETA- I meant charge rate of rape cases, which was 2.6% last year, different to convictions.

      It’s always really telling that whenever you try and converse with an anti-abortionist about their views they can never hold an actual conversation and not divert from the point and change the definitions of words to fit their argument. It’s almost as if they hold an indefensible point.
      But seriously this article is like the opening line to a dystopian novel

    5. People actually got paid to turn our beautiful Britain into fucking America. 🫣

      No wonder our local weed dealers have got no fear. They physically can’t get pregnant.

    6. This is disgraceful. A law from 1860 being interpreted at the whim of the Police at any given time on such a personal and sensitive subject. Another reason this country needs a complete makeover.

      Details are also provided for how police could bypass legal requirements for a court order to obtain medical records about a woman’s abortion from NHS providers.

      Senior police officers giving advice on how to circumvent due process.

      This should be scrapped.

      We already know where this is going, if we look across the ocean at America.
      And that’s currently got a brain dead woman being used as a human incubator.

      Saying that a medical treatment that the government literally pays for people to have isn’t illegal? Bro it’s not just legal, the government will pick up the bill.

    10. Known_Tax7804 on

      Perhaps, that’s a reasonable point, but when the government won’t just let you do something but will actually pay for you to do it, it’s a stretch to call it illegal.

      So the NHS won’t investigate miscarriages until you’ve had 3, but the police could get involved from the first one if they ’suspect‘ it didnt occur naturally?

      What exactly triggers police involvement?

      Edit to add miscarriages are NOT abortions

    12. Only_Tip9560 on

      If our first reaction to a woman who has experienced pregnancy loss is not compassion and medical support we are lost as a country.

      My view is that the police should only investigate where they have reasonable grounds for suspicion (i.e. probable cause for any Americans reading). If they are not confident that a court will agree that they do then they are probably overstepping. Creating guidance which throws immediate suspicion on any woman who suffers pregnancy loss is heavy handed and fundamentally against the principal of civil liberty. This is not policing by consent.

    13. Sea-Caterpillar-255 on

      Unpopular opinion: well yeah. There has to be some limit before which it is abortion and after which it is infanticide. I’m very relaxed about where that limit is (it should be as late as reasonably possible). But can anyone argue it should be 9months? Because if not you have to support this no?

      It’s almost like people were warning that scapegoating one minority would just lead to a domino effect…

    15. ComprehensiveFee8404 on

      If this country stopped licking America’s arse so much maybe we wouldn’t catch everything that they come down with…

    16. Guidance changed without consulting medical professionals, or any leading gynaecologists. I guess we should be satisfied they’re so confident they’ve got it right. /S, big S.

      I read the article thinking surely it’s a sensationalised headline. I was incredibly wrong.

    17. MattiasCrowe on

      I know so many women that have desperately wanted a child and miscarried

      Surely this will increase the birthrate, right

      Edit:: massive /s for anyone who didn’t understand

    18. DRSandDuvetDays on

      This is absolutely horrifying. Everyone on here who is advocating for Reform because of immigration, this is the shit you want to import to our country. Backwards, far right thinking.

      So disappointing to read that three women were involved in this. What the FUCK

    19. Have they not considered that women having illegal abortions might be those who are particularly vulnerable – victims of trafficking, abuse, coercion, etc.?

      Punishing women who are already victims does not seem like the best use of police time/resources. They need help and justice.

      And then of course there’s the impact this may have on women who have been through the trauma of miscarrying very wanted babies (I unfortunately know that pain and grief very well), which is utterly abhorrent.

      We live in really unsettling times.

    20. Select_Grocery_1667 on

      I don’t like this. I don’t see the point of it! It’s a waste of time and money when they could be investigating actual crimes

    21. Hot-Image4864 on

      Yet another example of how the police and law in general make our lives worse.

    22. BlackSpinedPlinketto on

      As a man who’s wife had two miscarriages, I’m glad they did not try to search our house and accuse my wife of anything!

    23. So not only a woman had to due with the physical and mental pain of a miscarriage or stillbirth, she will also had to be investigated, searched, strangers in their home and looking through their computer and phone

    24. Fucking hell. More imported US culture war shite.

      Imagine where we’ll be in 50 years…terrifying.

    25. We are not ruled by the faces and colours of our parties, rather by the people and companies that lobby our government.
      The faster we act on this as a glaring truth the better for our national security.

    26. PixelBlueberry on

      How about police crack down on phone thefts and London gang activity or assaults instead?
      Much better use of their time IMO

    27. Status-River436 on

      This absolutely won’t be abused by religious zealots, to continue to abuse women. Nope at all.
