Around the world abortion is undergoing a major change.

Abortion pills used in so-called medical abortions have overtaken surgical abortions.

Why is this happening?

This shift is being driven by ideological goals including, in the proponents’ words, "empowering women" through:

• The widest possible availability of abortion
• Self-managed or do-it-yourself abortions
• Reducing the involvement of medical professionals.

In Britain and Northern Ireland there are two significant campaigns underway to normalise abortion pills and reduce medical supervision:

• The decriminalisation of abortion in Northern Ireland, England and Wales
• Giving women the second abortion pill to take at home rather than in a medical setting in Scotland, Wales and England.
