New Health Secretary Therese Coffey today insisted her anti-abortion views were “nothing to see here” after she was criticised by a charity.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service, an abortion provider which campaigns for abortion rights, said the appointment of Liz Truss’s close pal in the Cabinet reshuffle was “deeply concerning”.
Chief executive Clare Murphy told the BBC Dr Coffey had “voted against the advice of leading medical bodies” to “revoke access to at-home abortion care, and recriminalise women who end their own pregnancies without the approval of two doctors”.
