The UK House of Lords will consider proposed amendments Wednesday to legislation decriminalizing abortion in England and Wales after MPs voted overwhelmingly last summer to end prosecution of women who terminate pregnancies outside the legal framework. Nine amendments have been laid, including proposals to delete the decriminalization clause entirely, restrict telemedicine access, and pardon women with prior abortion convictions.
