"This will spare women not only the difficulties associated with having to make more than one clinic visit - childcare, transport, time off work - but it will also spare women from the risk of symptoms on their way home, having taken the medication in a clinic.""It is simply perverse that a woman arriving at a BPAS clinic in England and Wales with an incomplete miscarriage can be given the medication to take in the comfort and privacy of her own home, while a woman seeking an abortion must take that same medication on site."

Giving women the opportunity to make this difficult decision on their own, without the interference of government and religious zealots AND allowing them remain in the privacy and comfort of their own home? Outrageous.
