LONDON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Authorities in Britain are launching a campaign to allow women to get abortions without prior approval of a doctor.
Under the proposed modernization of abortion laws, women would be allowed to have early abortions on an “informed consent” basis, with a doctor or a nurse carrying out the procedure, Britain’s The Independent reported.
The campaign aims to increase the number of clinics offering early abortions so women would not be restricted to facilities officially licensed to perform abortions.
Women who have been pregnant for 12 weeks or more would still be required to obtain permission from a doctor, The Independent reported.
The proposed changes are expected to cause outrage among pro-life groups and the Catholic Church, the newspaper said.
