Abortion was legalized in the house?

Public organizations of Great Britain once again talking about how to cancel the 40-year-old ban on abortions at home. Of course, we are not talking about surgery.

Company BPAS, provides services of abortion It requires that women living in Britain allowed to take home the past two tablets for early medical abortion. Currently medical abortion   It conducted only in British hospitals.

The UK is now the law of abortion Abortion Act, which prohibits anyone, including medical abortion Where else other than in the hospital. But experts from BPAS believe that the law is obsolete - it does not take into account the latest achievements in medicine. After all, it was written at a time when science was not aware of tools that allow medication to relieve a woman against pregnancy for up to nine weeks. 40 years ago, abortion in the country were carried out only by surgery, so the prohibition of their home seemed quite reasonable.

Currently Englishwoman must visit a special clinic to receive the first medicine that stops the pregnancy. After one or two days the patient must come back for a second drug, causing a miscarriage. Expect its actions it must at the very hospital.

Society for the Protection of Unborn Children UK is going to interfere with the initiative BPAS. "We are categorically against this, - said the representative of the company. - We will act on behalf of unborn children whose right to life protected from the time of Hippocrates. After all, in his oath contained a promise never to help a woman to abortion!"
