[[Abortion in the United Kingdom]] is easily accessible and legal within twelve weeks of conception to all women. It is also fully legalised upto twenty-four weeks after conception, but less accessible. Women are legally entitled to not pay for the [[abortion]], thus requiring every taxpayer in the [[United Kingdom]] to pay for the deaths of children.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4350259.stm</ref><ref>http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Abortion/Pages/Introduction.aspx</ref>

In theory, under the Abortion Act 1967, a woman's physical or mental health must be at risk for the abortion to proceed. Two doctors must sign that this is the case. However, due to the statistical technicality that carrying a baby to full term is more dangerous than an abortion, due to the risks of childbirth, all elective abortions are permitted and women do not generally have to give a reason.<ref>http://www.efc.org.uk/Foryoungpeople/Factsaboutabortion/MoreonUKabortionlaw</ref>

The '''All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group''' consists of only twenty MPs out of 646 (just over 3% of MPs). [[Anne Widdecombe]] has chaired the group in the past, and currently is a vice-chair. Interestingly, only eight members are from the 'Conservative Party'. Two are from the 'Liberal Democrats' and ten are from the 'Labour party.'<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/398033.stm</ref><ref>http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm/cmallparty/register/memi472.htm</ref>

There is also the '''ProLife Alliance''' group which was founded a political party in October 1996.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/news/vote2001/hi/english/parties/newsid_1334000/1334314.stm</ref> They receive limited support, amassing only 20,000 votes in the European election 2004. <ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/vote2004/euro_uk/html/front.stm</ref> However, they have been able to conduct events to raise Pro-life feeling in the country. They attack any move to promote abortion, euthanasia or human cloning and have been fervent in attacking the "forced abortion" policy of China. In 2009, they attended an Abortion debate in Cardiff, Wales by Anne Savoury. <ref>http://prolife.org.uk/2009/11/abortion-debate-in-cardiff-thursday-26th-november/</ref>
