Earlier this month, a British woman who used medication to terminate a pregnancy after the UK’s legally allowed limit was sentenced to 28 months in prison under Victorian-era legislation, in a case that has sparked calls for an overhaul of reproductive justice laws in the country. The woman, who has three children, will serve 14 months in custody and the remainder on license after her release.
Charity campaigners like Katherine O’Brien of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service said they are now making what she called a “straightforward” argument for the extension of this legislation to the rest of the UK. “When they amended the law to allow greater access to abortion care in Northern Ireland, what they did was they removed the criminalization of women for ending their own pregnancy. So, we’re effectively asking that politicians do the same,” O’Brien told CNN.
