COUNCILLORS have pledged to support women and girls in Basingstoke and Deane after passing a motion to help residents under threat of criminalisation from abortion.
Cllr Stacy Hart, the first Women's Equality borough councillor before the party's closure in 2024, proposed a motion calling for BDBC to support residents 'under threat of criminalisation following abortion or pregnancy loss'.
