Rule tightening being proposed in United Kingdom; could mean 60,000 fewer abortions

England and the rest of the United Kingdom have similar regulations to  the U.S. - abortion on demand throughout pregnancy (there are supposed to be some rules, but they are meaningless).

Now, a serious proposal in the House of Commons, as well as in the United Kingdom Department of Health:

Tightening of Abortion Rules Could Result in 60,000 Less Abortions

The plan would introduce a mandatory obligation on abortion clinics to offer women access to independent counselling, which is run on separate premises by a group which does not itself carry out abortions.

The proposed change comes ahead of a Commons vote, due to take place next week, on amendments to a public health Bill put forward by Nadine Dorries, a backbench Conservative MP.  The amendments would prevent private organisations which carry out terminations — such as Marie Stopes and the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas) — from offering pre-abortion counselling. Women would instead be offered free access to independent counsellors.

Regardless of what happens in the House of Commons, the United Kingdom Department of Health, is promising to develop proposals to introduce independent counselling for women seeking abortion, seemingly accepting that the advice given by abortion providers is not independent. 

We will follow this story closely.
