- W175097669 abstract "It is the purpose of this article to examine the law of abortion in England and Wales and in Scotland with particular reference to how the Abortion Act of 1967 affected these laws in order to highlight some fundamental differences between the 2 jurisdictions and also to show that the different legal systems within the United Kingdom can retain a different legal position even after the passing of an apparently unitary act. To induce or to procure an abortion is under both Scots and English law an illegal act. There is provision in section 4 of the Abortion Act of 1967 allowing any person to refuse to participate in any treatment authorized by the Act to which he or she has a conscientious objection. In Scotland a statement on oath by any person to the effect that he has a conscientious objection shall be sufficient evidence of his conscience. The English practitioner must specifically prove his own conscience. This is but 1 example of the differences in the abortion laws of England and Scotland. Notwithstanding the fact that the governing Act in this area of the law is one covering the whole of the United Kingdom except Northern Ireland the 2 main legal systems within Great Britain nevertheless retain fundamentally different laws. Scots law is still based to a large extent on the common law as is most of Scots criminal law. This has led to a more flexible and certainly a clearer position. The Abortion Act of 1967 provided common rules but such differences in outlook as existed before 1967 have not been reflected in the Abortion Act which has English assumptions permeating throughout." @default.
