ABOUT THE TWO PLEDGES

END-OF-LIFE PROTECTION PLEDGE
About the two Pledges
The two pledges enable MS candidates to make it clear whether they support or oppose policies that would lead to the loss of lives and policies that would save lives by introducing new protections at both the beginning and end of life.
Keeping the pledges separate means voters have clear information on exactly where MS candidates stand on policies relating to both the beginning and the end of life.

ABOUT THE TWO PLEDGES

END-OF-LIFE PROTECTION PLEDGE
If elected as an MS,
I pledge to:
1.
Support the overturning of the ‘abortion up to birth’ clause
If abortion law becomes devolved to Wales like it is in Scotland, support the repeal of the ‘abortion up to birth’ clause introduced by the Crime and Policing Bill that will change the law so it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason, including sex-selective purposes, and at any point up to and during birth.
2.
End discrimination against baby girls and lower the abortion time limit
If abortion law becomes devolved to Wales like it is in Scotland, stop discrimination against baby girls by supporting a law change to clarify that sex-selective abortion is illegal in Wales, and bring Welsh law closer to the laws in the majority of EU member states by supporting a law change to lower the gestational time limit for abortion.
3.
Stop pregnancy discrimination and unsafe home abortion schemes
Support women by backing policies designed to end pregnancy discrimination and stop women’s safety being put at risk, by reinstating in-person consultations with a medical professional before abortion pills can be prescribed.
