	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>As my right hon. Friend has addressed his question to the Minister for Women and Equalities, I assume his interest in identity politics relates to Equality legislation which defines different groups of people by reference to their protected characteristics. That being the case, I understand his concern and we need to ensure that equality for everyone on the basis of protected characteristics does not result in micro-divisions in society created by identity politics.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 15/05/2019 16:14:32 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government’s policy on safe abortion (found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safe-and-unsafe-abortion-uks-policy-position-on-safe-and-unsafe-abortion-in-developing-countries" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safe-and-unsafe-abortion-uks-policy-position-on-safe-and-unsafe-abortion-in-developing-countries</a>) takes an evidence-based, public health approach that aims to reduce death and disability caused by unsafe abortions. The UK is clear that the best way to avoid abortion is through giving women information and contraception, so they can decide whether, when and how many children to have. Therefore, the primary aim and vast majority of our investment in reproductive health is to increase uptake of voluntary family planning, which helps reduce demand for abortion.</p><p> </p><p>The UK funds the International Planned Parenthood Federation to work in developing countries, rather than the Planned Parenthood Federation of America which founded, but is now separate from, the Guttmacher Institute. There is no conflict of interest arising from UK Government support.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 15/05/2019 15:52:20 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
