Why DIY abortion rules need to end immediately by alithea
The government is currently consulting the public about home use of early medical abortion pills, a policy introduced last March as a temporary measure due to the pandemic.

Home abortions "temporary"? Not if abortion providers have anything to do with it by alithea
Ever since the horrific Government u-turn to allow women to self-administer ‘medical’ or chemical abortions at home with no medical supervision, politicians of every stripe have defended the move by insisting that it is only temporary. Among the many letters I have seen from MPs writing to their pro-life constituents about this, not one MP has explicitly said that these DIY abortions should be the norm. Even MPs who agree with the introduction of home abortions, have expressed concern that this change was not subject to proper parliamentary scrutiny.
