Abortion: fury  in Wales

Temporary ‘DIY’ abortion rules introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic will be made permanent in Wales, the devolved government has announced.

Health Minister Eluned Morgan said it was a ‘progressive step’ and added that she had carefully considered the responses to a public consultation in Wales and decided the arrangements were safe.

However, 75% of responses to the consultation were, on its own admission, removed by the Welsh Government. All of those removed opposed the proposal to make the arrangements permanent. The government rationalised this on the basis that they were all submitted via a standard template offered by campaign group Right to Life UK to individual members and were therefore treated as a single response.
