Many Republican lawmakers are happy to delay coronavirus prevention and treatment efforts if it means denying access to abortion.
a document announcing that those seeking abortions would be able to access medical abortions in their own homes during covid-19without accessing a hospital or clinic. But hours later, the department walked that statement back, saying the document was published in error.
Currently, UK law states that “abortions in England could only be carried out in a hospital, by a specialist provider or a licensed clinic and needed to be approved by two doctors to certify that the abortion being carried out did not breach the terms of the Abortion Act 1967,”. The new provisions would have allowed patients to consult doctors over the telephone or video conference and would grant access pills that would allow those seeking abortions to safely manage their abortions at home.
“In the current circumstances with Covid-19 meaning doctors are self-isolating or off sick and the NHS under immense pressure, it wastes valuable time, puts everyone at greater risk of spreading or contracting coronavirus and risks our ability to provide abortion care at all,” the letter read.
