“The obligation on the Secretary of State to publish a yearly report including details of complications in abortion care to ‘inform policy and safe practice regarding the termination of pregnancy’ suggests a politicisation of what is, and should remain, an area of healthcare decided by medical experts. It could also hold back modernisation of abortion law and innovation within care by adding a further layer of legislation. This would not be tolerated in other areas of healthcare, and we would encourage Parliament to recognise this and speak against the Bill”.
