Women do not have 'absolute right of bodily autonomy', says Tory MP (Telegraph.co.uk)

Danny Kruger, Conservative MP for Devizes, tells House of Commons he would 'probably disagree' with colleagues about Roe v Wade overturning.

“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,” he said.

‘And finally will the Government confirm its commitment on women’s rights to access reproductive healthcare – including abortion – and if the Government plans to change human rights legislation in the UK, that it will completely safeguard the rights of women to bodily autonomy.’ She added: ‘In relation to our position on sexual reproductive health and rights, including safe abortion, the UK is proud to defend and promote universal and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights, which is a fundamental to unlock the potential agency and freedom of women and girls.

She also asked for assurances on the government’s commitment to protecting the rights of women to ‘bodily autonomy’. Responding in the House of Commons, Labour MP Stella Creasy told him that abortion was ‘fundamentally for many of us a human rights issue’, adding: ‘Currently in the UK, only women in Northern Ireland have their constitutional right to an abortion protected as a human right, but we can change that and that is what this place and this urgent question can do today.’ He said: ‘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.’

The Tory MP's critics, including JK Rowling, need to listen to what he actually said on the subject of abortion, following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

To which the obvious answer was the counter-question: is there any other healthcare procedure which entails the death of another human being? It is trying to present the procedure as a mere matter of women’s bodily autonomy. You might think a foetus is merely a potential person, which invites the question: what else has it the potential to turn into? Such is the lot of Danny Kruger, who had the further accolade of a kicking from JK Rowling. 'I would offer to members who are trying to talk me down that this is a proper topic for political debate.

She argued: "Our Prime Minister has said that it is a backward step, but to me it is a case of actions speaking louder than words. He also went on to express his belief that Britain should not "lecture" the US on the rights and wrongs of the Supreme Court decision. Horrific that her son wants that for others."
