BBC News - Early medical abortions: Bid to change law fails: A legal bid to allow women having an early medical abortion to take some of their pills at home has been rejected by the UK High Court. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service had challenged the law, arguing women should choose where they complete their treatment.
Women currently have to make two visits and are given pills each time. The Department of Health opposed the change, which would have covered England, Scotland and Wales. Early medical abortions involve taking two sets of pills. These are taken 24 to 48 hours apart in order to induce a miscarriage.
