In-person appointments for all abortions must be reinstated to ensure that the gestation of babies can accurately be assessed, according to a leading pro-life group in the UK.

This follows the ruling from the Court of Appeal that Carla Foster who was jailed for illegally inducing an abortion in the eighth month of pregnancy, will be released from prison.

Right To Life UK also called for a full inquiry into the abortion provider, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service, for sending out abortion pills to a woman whose baby, Lily, was at least 32 weeks gestation, which is 22 weeks beyond the legal limit for at-home abortions.

The organisation has asked the Government to firmly reject changing legislation to make abortion legal right up to birth, as is proposed by abortion campaigners, led by BPAS, who are cynically using this tragic case to call for the removal of more abortion safeguards and the introduction of abortion up to birth across the United Kingdom.
