Government does U-turn to advocate for telemed abortion

In a sudden reversal, the British government will allow licensed doctors to prescribe abortion drugs via telemedicine during the coronavirus pandemic.

Last week, the Department of Health and Social Care assured the public that the plan had been withdrawn.

But the agency announced it will allow the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol to be prescribed in the home of a registered medical practitioner after a telephone or online consultation for women up to 10 weeks pregnant.

Critics point out women will not have immediate medical assistance if any complications arise.
