LONDON, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A British charity insists it is not breaking the law by referring women to other countries for late abortions.
The Sunday Telegraph has reported that the British Pregnancy Advisory Service helps arrange late abortions without medical justification.
The service says not making such referrals abroad would be "morally reprehensible," the BBC reported.
Britain's health secretary has asked to see the Telegraph's material and says if the "will of Parliament is being thwarted," the matter would be taken seriously.
BPAS head Ann Furedi compared referring women beyond Britain's 24-week abortion limit abroad with Irish women coming to Britain for terminations.
"There is nothing we are doing that is unlawful," Furedi said. "We are simply providing women with international contacts to clinics that can provide them with abortion services."
The Telegraph says an undercover reporter referred to a Barcelona clinic by BPAS was offered the chance to abort a healthy 26-week old fetus.
