What the petition asks
Access to abortion is at risk in certain parts of the world, and there are pregnant people at risk of gender-based violence who need sanctuary.
The Government should ensure safe passage into Britain for those who are unable to get an abortion overseas, or are at risk of prosecution for doing so.
