Six MPs have introduced a proposal to add a new constitutional provision protecting the right to voluntary termination of pregnancy. The proposers argue that enshrining abortion rights in the constitution would shield them from restriction, noting that abortion rights face pressure in several countries and that the right touches on fundamental human rights including privacy and equality.

A new Section 103 would state: Everyone has the right to voluntarily terminate their own pregnancy. Any limitation on this right must have a legal basis, be necessary to protect a legitimate purpose, and cannot prevent a genuine and responsible opportunity to terminate pregnancy. State authorities must ensure the right to voluntary pregnancy termination by providing access to information and adequate health services.
