1966年6月15日公布的《医疗终止妊娠法案》的目的是修订和澄清与注册医生终止妊娠有关的法律。当来自苏格兰边境的年轻自由党议员大卫·斯蒂尔（David Steel）提出这项法案时，一些人认为苏格兰政治家没有必要引入堕胎改革，因为苏格兰法律在这方面已经令人满意了。当然，苏格兰的堕胎法比英格兰更灵活，起诉的数量也很少。然而，刑事堕胎和非刑事堕胎之间的界限同样模糊，在这一领域有很大的医学不确定性。1967年的《堕胎法》成为法律后，是第一部涵盖苏格兰、英格兰和威尔士的与堕胎有关的立法。然而，由于各种法律和道德原因，边境两边的堕胎政策和做法仍然不同。
The purpose of the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Bill, published on 15 June 1966, was to amend and clarify the law relating to termination of pregnancy by a registered medical practitioner. When David Steel, a young Liberal MP from the Scottish Borders, put this bill forward, some suggested that a Scottish politician had no need to introduce abortion reform since Scots law was already satisfactory in this regard. Certainly, abortion law in Scotland was more flexible than its English counterpart, and the number of prosecutions few. The line between criminal and non-criminal abortion was, however, just as indistinct, with great medical uncertainty in this area. On becoming law, the 1967 Abortion Act was the first piece of abortion-related legislation to cover Scotland, England and Wales collectively. None the less, for a variety of legal and moral reasons, abortion policy and practice continued to differ on either side of the Border.
