English: These badges protest a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. The National Abortion Campaign (NAC) was set up in 1975. It protested against proposed changes to the 1967 Abortion Act in Britain. Its members saw abortion becoming the campaigning rights issue it continues to be today. The Act stated an abortion must be performed by a registered medical practitioner. The Act also stated two medical practitioners must agree the abortion is necessary if there is a risk to the physical or mental health of the mother or if the child would be severely mentally or physically handicapped.
