She said that the legislation was no longer"fit for purpose".
One protester, Fiona, who regularly attends pro-abortion rallies and had travelled from Birmingham, told Sky News:"I'm here for my daughter, for me and all women. "But I want to show solidarity with her and women all over the world in fact, who don't have abortion, who don't have abortion rights and still risk their life and risk their freedom in order to control their own fertility."
"I think for me, the thing is people think that we've got a lot more rights here than we actually do and you only find out when there's a situation like this quite how much our rights are restricted or not enough."
