Given the responses you’re not the only one. However the question should be *why* the change. Could this not reflect financial sense in a time of austerity? What are the absolute values? To cast judgement as you do, you ought to give more detail before opinion.

If people have kids but can’t work as doing childcare how would you frame funding their benefits vs an informed decision to abort?

Is it informed? Is there independent counselling? Is there a cooling off period between consenting and procedure? The fee per service model does not reward counselling that discusses other options. No mental health assessment done despite mental health being cited in 98% of cases

Err... yeah, there’s counselling and discussion and cooking and planning in every abortion I’ve seen. Honestly don’t know official procedure, but all I’ve seen fits with this.

It's not done independently.

Thought it required two medical practitioners to agree. Been a while since I read medical law; memory may faded or two decades might have changed it(!)

Two docs. They don't both have to see her. They do not have to carry out a MHA assessment. There is no duty to followup health issues. Consent forms have been presigned (BMA has reported on this). If mental health issues identified they need treated first.
