‘The guilt of a baby in the bin was eating us up’

A WOMAN who reported her housemate to police in the North for buying drugs online to abort an unborn child has defended the move.

The woman who aborted her child was prosecuted under the region’s strict abortion laws and was handed a three-month jail sentence, suspended for 12 months.

The defendant, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claimed she was unable to raise enough money to travel to England to access a lawful termination.
