Background on Foster’s Illegal Procurement of Abortion Pills

Abortions are generally allowed up to 24 weeks gestation, with exceptions made in cases where the woman’s life is at risk or if the child would have severe disabilities.

Scotland allowed this practice in October 2017.

Medical-induced abortions accounted for 87% of procedures in 2021, surpassing surgical methods.
