A spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesperson revealed on Tuesday that the UK supports the rights of women to access safe and legal abortions after being asked about the possible move by the US Supreme Court to overturn a decision legalizing abortion.
The spokesperson explained, “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 UK fully supports women’s reproductive rights globally … including the right to access safe and legal abortion.”
