abolish the rule that women can't make their own choice of having children

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

abolish the rule of women having to consult or "think about" having children, they have their own body and therefore their own choice, when men want a snip it's easily done but with women it's not the same and I am looking to abolish that rule
because this is a basic human right, it is their body and therefore their choice, if they don't want children they don't have to have a male voice in making their choice

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you are concerned about women's right to choose to have children, however as this is already a matter of personal choice for them, and their partner if they have one, it's not clear what it is you would like the Government to do.

If there is a clear action you would like the Government to take, you could start a petition about that.
