Reform copying the MAGA playbook so blatantly I wonder if they’ll try and build a ballroom on the side of #10
I heard farage actually needs another ball.
Anti-abortion positions have been in mainstream political debate here forever. It wasn’t even legalised nationwide before 2020. I don’t think there ever really has been a time when anti-abortion positions were fringe, and I doubt there ever truly ever will be. It’s not like same-sex marriage and divorce where it’ll kinda just become the norm.
Anti-abortion is one of most fringe positions you can have in British politics, support for allowing it has Assad levels of support.
Had a flick through that, it seems the 6% are on the extreme of “under no circumstances”. It shows around 1/3rd of people believe the current 24 week limit is too late.
For example, I would consider myself “anti abortion” but I believe it should be an option in cases of rape, serious risk to mother’s life or a very definite fatal foetal abnormality. I’m not in favour of investigating/witchhunting/prosecuting people who get abortions despite that, though.
I don’t know what “Assad levels of support” is or how that’s relevant.
If you look at another study, it shows opposition at 40%

It’s a simile.

That’s just a poll of people in Northern Ireland and it doesn’t ask the same questions as the YouGov poll I linked. The date in the article header is also wrong, this article is from 2017, you can tell from the URL and it’s appearance in the Wayback Machine.
This consultation by Ulster University and Queen’s University Belfast shows that 71% of people from NI believe it’s a woman’s right to choose (data is from 2018).
I think I’ve established anyway that pro-life isn’t some fringe kookie position
You have done nothing of the sort lol
The statistics were showing 20-30% in some regions of the UK. That’s a minority, but definitely not fringe
