Rishi Sunak has refused to bow to calls for abortion reform after a mum-of-three was jailed for taking abortion pills after the legal cut-off during the coronavirus lockdown.
Carla Foster, 44, was jailed for 28 months at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Monday (12 June) after she admitted illegally procuring her own abortion when she was between 32 and 34 weeks pregnant.
The decision to jail the mother has prompted backlash, with campaigners and politicians calling for a reform to the current 1861 abortion legislation used to prosecute her.
