Ways have been found for as long as humans have walked the earth to terminate un-wanted pregnancy. Ways which often ended with the woman being badly mutilated, poisoned or even dead. Infanticide and abandonment were other methods widely used throughout the ages and in extreme cases suicide. It was the advent of modern medicine that made safe abortions possible and as a result terminations have been provided as a matter of right in a majority of Countries for several decades now.
This Council recognises that thousands of women have been travelling abroad, every year, for almost 50 years, to access safe legal abortion services in the UK and other Countries.
This Council believes that the state and all its institutions should not be under any religious influence and should be able to legislate to provide safe abortion services to women as a matter of choice.
This Council supports those campaigning to repeal the 8 amendment who believe the first step should be the complete removal of any reference to abortion in the Constitution.
If this motion is passed this Council will write to the relevant Government Department informing it of that decision.
