'SKYPE ABORTIONS' Women should be allowed to carry out early abortions at home, say medical leaders

WOMEN should be allowed to carry out early abortions at home, medical leaders claim.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has called for easier access to essential healthcare, such as contraception and terminations.

It says women should be offered a Skype or phone consultation with a doctor.

They would then collect the tablets from their nearest pharmacy and be able to take them from the “comfort and convenience” of their own home.

The abortion pill is two separate medicines, mifepristone and misoprostol, which are administered separately.

Until last year, those wanting to terminate a pregnancy before ten weeks' gestation had to take the two drugs at a medical centre - 24 to 48 hours apart.

But ministers changed the rules to allow women to take the second abortion pill at home in a landmark move.

Now the RCOG want officials to go one step further. 'SKYPE ABORTIONS'

Oh hell no! We were told that we needed to open abortion clinics so women would not be doing abortions outside of a clinical setting.

Remember the coat hangers shoved in our faces?

This tells me a lot about the abortion debate and what they're mindset is. It tells me that they are losing the fight about abortions and see that their clinics are in danger because of education to women by way of ultrasounds.

They need more patients and they need them at home without ultrasounds and dumb.

Hey, you can criticise when the US bans abortion, instead of enshrining it in constitutional law. In virginia you can abort at 25 weeks instead of 24 weeks.

Why would I criticize, if the US bans abortion?
