UK group launch aftercare telephone service for women in Ireland who use abortion pills bought online
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas) said it was providing the service in Ireland “while we wait for politicians to do the right thing”. The group says its confidential nurse-led telephone service will offer advice to women who have obtained pills from the online clinics run by Women Help Women (WHW) and Women on Web (WOW) and who are concerned about any symptoms they may experience.
“What these women really need are accessible, high quality abortionservices at home,” said Ann Furedi, Bpas CEO. “They shouldn’t have to make the choice between travelling to England and breaking the law by purchasing pills online.
