A mum has been jailed after lying about how far along she was in her pregnancy to get ahold of abortion medication. Carla Foster had been having relationships with two men other than her estranged partner when she discovered she was pregnant in late 2019, a court was told.
The 44-year-old carried out numerous internet searches about termination in early 2020 as she did not want her ex to find out about the baby. These included the terms such as “how to do your own miscarriage at home?” and “where can I buy abortion pills UK?”
The mum then contacted the British Pregnancy Advice Services (BPAS) and lied about "how far gone" she was, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard. She was told she would be provided with medication if she answered questions accurately.
