General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

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.
It's even under the 20% irredeemable nutjob low water mark
