The abortion "crisis" in the UK.
Well this sucks.
UK women may soon have a serious problem with access to abortion due to an apparent growth in National Health Service (NHS) doctors refusing to perform the procedure.
While anti-choice pharmacists in the U.S. have created their own "conscience clause" movement by refusing to dispense birth control and EC, a new breed of "conscientious objectors" has birthed in England.
There has also been a general decrease in the number of abortion providers because of the fact that doctors can choose to specialize in a field of medicine and many see abortion care as unappealing.
Like being a Proctologist is appealing.
Ann Furedi of the British Pregnancy Advisory Service predicts that "within five to seven years, a woman's ability to get an abortion will be more shaped by the service's ability to provide them rather than the state of the law."
Ugh.
