The Campaign to Support Women Having Access to Abortion During Coronavirus

  • Tweet

I completely understand what an incredibly emotive issue this is, and I appreciate the strength of feelings about this issue. Abortion care is an essential part of care for women, and I can assure concerned constituents that safeguarding measures remain in place during the coronavirus outbreak. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynagologists has offered guidance on this issue which can be found here: https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/guidelines-research-services/guidelines/coronavirus-abortion/information-for-women/

Guidelines have been issued which enable women to take both Mifepristone and Misoprostol at home for the duration of the outbreak, so that they do not have to visit a medical practice and risk exposure to the virus, and to enable doctors to prescribe medicines from home without consulting a second practitioner, so that abortion care can be provided even in the case of staff shortages.
