Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

The Labour Party is pro-choice and has also advocated for measures to reduce the number of abortions, such as providing birth control, sex education, and social services. For example, under Tony Blair's government, the Teenage Pregnancy Strategy was introduced in 1999, which aimed to reduce teenage pregnancies through education and access to contraception.

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

However, the 1967 Abortion Act, which the party supported, does impose certain restrictions on abortion after 24 weeks of pregnancy, unless there is a risk to the life of the mother or severe fetal abnormalities.
