An end to Roe v Wade, the law that keeps abortion legal throughout the US, could have implications for abortion access in the UK, campaigners warn.

On the surface, abortion rights in the UK may appear to be far more secure than in the US. Some 90% of Brits are said to support them and MPs recently voted to keep allowing home abortions in England – and while abortion was a more contentious political issue in Northern Ireland, it’s been recently decriminalised there too.
