Proceeding contribution from Ian Jnr Paisley (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 November 2022. It occurred during e-petition debate on Legal Rights to Access Abortion.


Legal Rights to Access Abortion

I thank the hon. Lady for giving way. Is there not something fundamentally naive about a petition that attempts to juxtapose the legal system of the United Kingdom with the very different constitutional and legal system in the United States of America on the basis of fear, misinformation and media reportage, rather than on the basis of fact?
