Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court in 2022. The Supreme Court disagreed with Roe’s assertion of an absolute right to terminate pregnancy in any way and at any time and attempted to balance a woman’s right of privacy with a state’s interest in regulating abortion. Abortion in the United Kingdom is legally available through the Abortion Act 1967 in Great Britain, and the Abortion (Northern Ireland) (No. 2) Regulations 2020. Britain’s leading abortion care provider is anticipating “assaults on abortion law in Parliament” following the fall of landmark Roe vs Wade ruling in the US. In this episode we discuss the two chief positions on the morality of abortion: “pro-life” position vs“pro-choice” . The basic pro-life position holds that induced abortions are morally impermissible (morally wrong, morally prohibited). The basic pro-choice position holds that induced abortions are morally permissible (morally allowable, not morally wrong). Support the Show.
