Wait, was abortion illegal in the UK before this?

In the US, we have many laws that are on the books but are never enforced because everyone understands that they are unconstitutional. However, in the UK there is no written constitution and I thought the courts are not empowered to strike down any act of Parliament as unconstitutional. So if there was an act of Parliament prohibiting abortion and it hasn't been repealed then it would be in force - am I missing something?
