Catherine Robinson of Proper to Life UK mentioned: “Whereas it is a optimistic improvement, it’s now seemingly that these or related amendments shall be re-introduced by Creasy and Johnson or different MPs on the report stage of the Invoice, so this battle is unfortunately removed from over it doesn't finish.”
Alithea Williams, public coverage supervisor on the Society for the Safety of the Unborn, agreed that “the hazard is just not over”.
