Women don't have an absolute right to bodily autonomy, a Tory MP says in the wake of the Roe v Wade overturning
Danny Kruger spoke out against women having an absolute right to bodily autonomy.Women do not have "absolute right of bodily autonomy", a Tory MP has claimed amid anger at the US Supreme Court's ruling on abortion.The highest court in America overturned the past Roe v Wade judgement that protected abortion rights across the country, allowing states to impose restrictions.
Conservative MP Danny Kruger said in the House of Commons: "They think that women have an absolute right to bodily autonomy in this matter, whereas I think in the case of abortion that right is qualified by the fact that another body is involved. "And my point to the frontbench is I don't understand why we are lecturing the United States on a judgment to return the power of decision over this political question to the states, to democratic decision-makers, rather than leaving it in the hands of the courts."
