Diana Johnson MP’s Abortion Bill Passes to Second Reading: How MPs Voted

Today, Diana Johnson MP received Commons approval for her abortion Bill to progress to Second Reading, by 172-142 votes. The Bill would introduce abortion on demand, for any reason (including sex-selection), up to 28 weeks of pregnancy.

NB: Members of the Scottish National Party (SNP) were absent due to this being a Bill that is only intended to affect England and Wales (abortion law has been devolved to the Scottish Parliament).
