Dr Miller calls for BPAS to be prosecuted for sending abortion pills to woman 7 months pregnant ()

Dr Calum Miller, the pro-life NHS doctor and research associate at the University of Oxford, has accused the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) of “profoundly dangerous” conduct for sending abortion pills to a woman who was seven months pregnant.
He called for the group to be prosecuted for what they did, saying “the woman and the baby are victims, and BPAS the culprits”.

Challenging BPAS, who are Britain’s largest abortion provider, he asked: “Why did you send pills to kill a viable baby above the legal limit? Why did you make a woman deliver him/her at home with no medical supervision? Doesn’t this sound dangerous to you?”

Dr Miller’s remarks have prompted a wider debate on the matter. BPAS engaged with him on Twitter about the case but when he challenged them about putting women’s lives at risk by sending abortion pills in the post, they did not respond.

After consuming the pills, the woman subsequently delivered a seven-month-old baby. It is unclear at this point whether the baby was born alive but the case is due before Stoke Crown Court.
Rather than face reality and admit their wrongdoing, BPAS is trying to use the case to argue for the full decriminalisation of abortion in England, as the abortion under scrutiny in this case happened beyond the legal upper limit for abortion in the UK.

What the entire story highlights however are the inherent dangers with ‘DIY’ at home abortions which happen without in-person consultation with a medical doctor. The Government here appears intent on maintaining some version of the practice in Ireland, despite earlier assurances that it would cease once Covid restrictions were lifted.

If you haven’t done so already, you can send an instant message to the Minister for Health by clicking here. ([link removed]) The message calls on the Minister to withdraw government support for the reckless practice of telemedicine ‘DIY’ abortions.

Send INSTANT ready-to-go message to your TDs asking them to urge Stephen Donnelly to immediately STOP telemedicine abortion ()
[link removed]
The Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly is expected to make a decision very soon on whether to end or sanction the continuation of telemedicine home abortions.

In a very distrubing new finding, 15% of women in the UK said they experienced pressure to go though with an abortion they didn't want to have.*

The HSE in Ireland recently acknowledged** that coercion is MORE likely to occur when abortions happen remotely.

Telemedicine abortion is anti-woman as well as anti-baby.

Take one minute to send an INSTANT message to your TDs asking them to urge the Minister for Health to immediately STOP telemedicine abortion now that Covid 19 measures have been eased in every other area.

You can send an instant message here ([link removed])
