The Daily Mail has carried out a successful sting on Marie Stopes International (MSI), one of the largest abortion providers in the country. A reporter posed as a woman wanting an abortion whilst calling up one of MSI’s call centres. The investigation claimed that the call centre worker was able to arrange an abortion for her without any direct doctor involvement.

The Mail concluded that MSI doctors “approve thousands of abortions without meeting women”, and that “some consultation discussions can last just 22 seconds”. By contrast, 92% of UK women believethat a woman presenting for abortion should always be seen by a qualified doctor.
