In countries where abortion is highly restricted, we can help make the consequences of unsafe abortion more widely understood. We do this by supporting the voices of local women themselves, as they work for their own rights and choices.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 25/06/2019 15:46:50 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
