Where do Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak stand on women’s rights regarding abortion?

Truss recently opened a conference dealing with human rights.

The Guardain has brought to light that the section below had been removed when the UK signed the final document,

which included a commitment to the repeal of any laws that “allow harmful practices, or restrict women’s and girls’ … sexual and reproductive health and rights, bodily autonomy.”

“At a time when abortion provision around the world is under serious threat, due to the reversal of Roe v Wade, it has never been more important for the UK government to stand up for sexual and reproductive health and rights and bodily autonomy,” wrote the organisations, including Humanists UK, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), MSI Reproductive Choices and Amnesty International UK.
