BRITISH GOVERNMENT AIMS FOR MORE ABORTIONS, FASTER ABORTIONS

Looks To U.S. As The Model To Be Copied

LONDON, September 12, 2001 (LSN.ca) -In a National Strategy for Sexual Health and HIV the British Government has pledged that by 2005 women who are legally entitled to an abortion will get one within three weeks. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) says that to meet that goal there must be a radical overhaul of abortion methods and they are looking to the United States for solutions. Women in the U.S. are offered abortions within a week of asking for one. At least 38 million unborn babies have been killed in the U.S since 1973 and U.S. agencies and organizations have been prominent in advancing abortion throughout the world.

"Women want abortions that are convenient to slot into their lives. They want to be able to come into the clinic and to be able to be treated and to be able to leave within a couple of hours," said Ann Furedi, of the BPAS. Furedi cited the greater use of the abortion pill in the U.S. as a method to adopt. "We have to break the mould of the way abortions are carried out here," she said.
