Download date: 30. Sep. 2021 Abortion Law and Scotland: an issue of what? In recent years, two abrupt decisions have been taken at Westminster regarding abortion provision in the devolved regions of the United Kingdom. In 2017, following the general election and the Conservative-DUP supply and demand agreement, the British government declared that Northern Irish women who sought abortions in England would have their procedures funded on the NHS.i In 2015, the Conservative government devolved laws on abortion in Scotland to the Scottish government in Edinburgh. This article focuses on the second of these decisions – the resolution to devolve abortion laws to Scotland. It explores debates and documents produced at the time, asking why this decision was taken. Two debates on the issue of Scotland and abortion at Westminster are considered, alongside several questions on the issue put in the Scottish Parliament.
