The United Kingdom supports women’s rights to access safe and legal abortions, a spokesperson for Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed on Tuesday following questions about the possible move by the US Supreme Court to overturn a decision legalizing abortion.
“My understanding is this comes from a leaked document rather than an official decision, and of course, as you’d expect, it’s a matter for the US courts in general,” the spokesperson said.
“The UK fully supports women’s reproductive rights globally … including the right to access safe and legal abortion.”
