British Women to be Offered Abortions at Home



BRITAIN — British women are for the first time to be offered drug-induced abortions at home under plans drawn up by The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, which is responsible for 50,000 abortions a year.

The abortion agency is asking the Department of Health for the go ahead for a pilot study of 500 drug-induced home abortions in an effort to offer more abortions to women and to enable them to be done sooner.

Its newly appointed chief executive, Ann Furedi, explained the procedure saying, “It would be like having a drug-induced miscarriage. It would be painful. There would be cramps, other pain and a lot of blood, for about half an hour.” Disposal of the remains, she said, would be via the lavatory. The Department of Health has not yet approved the study.
