During the COVID-19 lockdown, Katie (using a pseudonym for legal reasons) was prescribed an abortion over the phone by an NHS provider and received the pills by post. With no symptoms indicating she was further along than six weeks, Katie was horrified to find herself giving birth to a dead baby alone in her bathroom. Instead of receiving support for her trauma, she was charged with procuring poison to induce a miscarriage.
Ahead of the trial, Katie cannot publicly share exactly how far along the pregnancy was. However, it was clear to both her and the medical staff that she was much further along than she had initially thought.
