answer text

<p>A decision to terminate a pregnancy must comply with the legal requirements of the Abortion Act 1967. In circumstances where a person lacks capacity, the courts have the authority to make serious healthcare and treatment decisions, in the best interests of the person and pursuant to the Mental Capacity Act 2005, and this could include whether a pregnancy should be terminated.</p>
