The effects of proposed amendments, were they to be voted in, would include:
• reducing medical scrutiny of abortion from two doctors to one;
• abolishing the need for any legal grounds for abortion up to 24 weeks;
• allowing nurses and midwives to carry out an abortion;
• extending locations where abortion can take place to include doctors’ surgeries, local health centres, school sick rooms etc.;
• up to a 2 year prison sentence for any pro-life counselling group which “misled” expectant mothers by its adverts.
