It is much easier to access that medication than to go to a clinic, the pharmacy, or your GP. Some people say, “My goodness me, that’s a disaster”, whereas I think it is brilliant, because it means that women will not delay in applying for them and will therefore be able to have early abortions. When I was campaigning around this sort of thing, it was for it to be, “As early as possible, as late as necessary”. I am delighted that “As early as possible” is getting earlier; we should celebrate that. There is a danger that the reaction and backlash against Clause 191 is going to take away from people accessing the means of early abortion.
