Ministers have agreed a six-month extension to the policy that lets women take early abortion pills at home.
has been applied to a temporary policy that allows women to take medical abortion pills at home.
After four to six hours the lining of the womb breaks down, causing bleeding and loss of the pregnancy.Maggie Throup, Minister for Vaccines and Public Health, confirmed in a written statement that the policy would only be extended until the end of 29 August 2022. "After careful consideration, the government's view is that the provision of early medical abortion should return to pre-Covid arrangements. The wellbeing and safety of women requiring access to abortion services has been, and will continue to be, our first and foremost priority."
"If, at the end of this six-month period, the government were indeed to revoke legal permission for this service, it would be a shameful betrayal of women and a decision devoid of both evidence or justice," she said.
