The Bill seeks to amend the Termination of Pregnancy Act 2021, to only allow terminations from 25 weeks' onwards to save the life of the mother. This will reduce unnecessary infant deaths, the elective termination of babies who can survive outside their mothers if given the chance.

For babies with a congenital anomaly that is incompatible with life, they can be offered palliative care if the event they survive delivery.
