No. Abortion can never be classed as healthcare. It is different from other medical procedures because it involves killing an unborn baby, as well as subjecting women who are normally otherwise healthy to mental and/or physical health risks.

Abortion advocates want abortion to be completely normalised and part of mainstream healthcare. This view was summed up by Professor Lesley Regan, former president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, when she said that abortions should be treated the same as other medical procedures – including “having your bunions sorted.”
