Reverse measures allowing women to access at home abortion.

Closed 4,326 signatures

What the petition asks

Reverse the new measures that have been introduced to allow home abortions for up to a ten week pregnancy during corona crisis.
Women in abusive relationships could be at risk of being coerced into it. They will have to dispose of the result which could lead to mental trauma. Some people may be tempted to use it after the ten week period in some cases. Incomplete abortions could put more of a strain on the NHS. They could receive no counselling before or after.
