Home AbortionsTuesday 29 July 2003
There's been a call from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service for the Department of Health to pilot a scheme which would allow women to carry out their own medical terminations at home.

The practice is already common in the United States, in Europe and in New Zealand. So what does it involve and how safe a procedure is it?
Anne Weyman is chief executive of the Family Planning Association and joins Jenni to discuss the possibilities of this scheme going ahead here in Britian.
