Members of Parliament have voted to make permanent a policy adopted during the coronavirus pandemic that allows British women to self-administer both doses of abortion drugs at home, without visiting a medical clinic.
The House of Commons vote on an amendment to the Health and Care Bill 2021 was 215 to 188.
“The group of MPs who have voted for this amendment have voted to remove vital safeguards including an in-person appointment with a medical professional. This will put thousands more women at risk from ‘DIY’ home abortion services,” said Catherine Robinson, spokesperson for Right to Life UK.
