A leading midwife has shared details about the recent deaths of two women from abortion pills. They had taken the pills at home. This happened as the government confirmed it would press ahead with a consultation on extending the lockdown ‘pills in the post’ system.

A Regional Chief Midwife wrote to staff requesting information on any women or girls who had experienced ‘complications of this process’. The letter noted there had been ‘two maternal deaths’ after taking abortion pills. One woman was found dead at home after taking a pill, the second died of sepsis ‘very quickly in the A&E department’.
