Cevap

The correct answer is the legalisation of abortion and the decriminalisation of homosexual acts.
The 1960s was a decade of significant social change in the UK, often called the 'Swinging Sixties'. Alongside the rise of popular music, Parliament passed laws that liberalised society, most notably the Abortion Act and the Sexual Offences Act in 1967. The latter decriminalised homosexual acts in private between men aged 21 or over in England and Wales. This period also saw the permanent abolition of the death penalty.
