An amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, laid by Caroline Johnson MP, seeks to remove access to at-home abortion services (sometimes known as ‘telemedicine’) without a prior in-person appointment with a doctor or appropriate medical professional.

Commenting on the amendment, Louise McCudden, Head of External Affairs at MSI UK, said:

“At-home abortion care is safe, effective, and preferred by a majority of women. Banning women from choosing at-home abortion care would be an authoritarian restriction on a common, safe healthcare procedure, with no clinical or ethical basis whatsoever.  

“Everyone who needs or chooses abortion should be offered the right type of care for their needs. For some, that will be taking pills at home as part of our supported care package, for others that will be taking pills in a clinic, and for others, that will mean having a surgical abortion. 

“These decisions should be between women and their doctors, not ill-informed politicians.  

“Despite the handful of MPs backing this bizarre proposal, we hope that most MPs would instead listen to doctors, midwives, and women themselves about the vital importance of offering at-home abortion care.”
