UK. Temporary measures allowing women who are up to ten weeks pregnant to have an abortion at home may become permanent under proposals being considered by the government.
Under an emergency policy introduced in March in response to Covid-19, women were allowed to receive the two pills necessary for a termination after a phone consultation rather than a clinic visit. Since then up to 90,000 women have taken up the opportunity, according to The Sunday Mirror. Ministers are to hold a public consultation on whether to keep the new system in place before the provision ends in 18 months.
