Sad news from Great Britain: the possibility of accessing chemical abortion at home, after a telephone consultation only, has become permanent. It was already allowed in Scotland; now it is also a permanent feature in England and Wales, as announced earlier this year.
Initially introduced to deal with so-called “emergencies” during long lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the legislation has now lost its “emergency” character and, even more sadly, it has become routine.
Until week 10 of the baby’s life in the womb, English and Welsh women will be able to take a pill of mifepristone, followed by a pill of misoprostol a bit later, to “dispose” of a human life within her without even the trouble of leaving her home. One phone call, when a video call is unavailable, and the matter is resolved.
No attention is paid to the very serious claims that gruesome abuses may take place, as highlighted repeatedly and not only by iFamNews: it is imperative to accurately and safely determine how far along in pregnancy a woman is, that the woman actually understands what she is about to do; also, we must try to determine if there is any possibility of coercion by her violent partner or prostitution exploiters or child abusers–but no, nothing may infringe on this tragic “right.”
Indeed, the authorities have also planned a special guide for underage girls who wish to take advantage of the option of having an abortion alone in the bathroom at home. The Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health, in fact, will create a handbook for under-18s accessing telemedicine abortions “[…] to ensure that adequate protection is in place.”
There is no interest in their health either, since complications of the procedure, during which the baby is expelled from the uterus, with its accompanying anxieties and risk of need for medical care, are simply shrugged off.
Claire Murphy, chief executive of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), an avowedly pro-abortion “charity,” says she is “absolutely delighted” that early at-home abortions will now be allowed on a permanent basis. No doubt she is delighted, given the all-around service, which is not free of charge, that BPAS offers while denying life from coming into existence.
