A controversial UK court decision to force a disabled woman to have an abortion has been overturned on appeal.

A three justice panel of the English Court of Appeal overturned the previous ruling of the Court of Protection.

The judges said they would issue a full explanation of their decision at a later date, but that the circumstances of the case were “unique.”

A spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Clare McCarthy, welcomed the decision in a statement released Monday, but said “the horrific original ruling should never have happened.”

She added that the group fear this was not a one-off case. She added: “We are calling on the Department of Health to urgently reveal how many women have been forced to have an abortion in the UK over the last 10 years and make it clear how they will ensure it will not happen again.”
