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.

  • Scottish Green Party Submission to Smith Commission on Devolution Patrick Harvie MSP and Cllr Maggie Chapman, SGP Co-Convenors
    Scottish Green Party submission to Smith Commission on Devolution Patrick Harvie MSP and Cllr Maggie Chapman, SGP Co-Convenors Introduction The Scottish Green Party welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the debate on the future of devolution, given that the people of Scotland chose by majority to vote No in the independence referendum. Though we campaigned for a Yes vote in the referendum and are naturally disappointed at the result, we believe that a window of opportunity remains open for change. It is in the nature of Green politics to seek ways of working constructively with others; neither downplaying our differences nor allowing them to prevent us from finding common ground where possible. However it should be noted that this will not be an easy task on the timescale which has been imposed. If it is to be achieved then there will need to be willingness on both sides of the independence divide to give ground. The scope for compromise Those who campaigned for a Yes vote will need to accept that the current process will not realise our ambitions for independence. We respect the decision the majority of voters made, even if we regard it as a missed opportunity. Those who campaigned for a No vote will also need to acknowledge that the commitments made in the final stages of the referendum campaign went significantly beyond the proposals published by Labour, the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives earlier in the year. There is clear evidence from recent opinion polling that a majority in Scotland would support the devolution of “all areas of government policy except for defence and foreign affairs, which is sometimes referred to as devo max”.
