Wow just wow
Some say it should be.
During lockdown a mother of three lied to BPAS in order to obtain abortion pills when she was 34 weeks pregnant, claiming'emotional turmoil', having moved back in with her partner while carrying another man's child. For inducing her abortion she was imprisoned for 28 weeks, subsequently reduced and suspended after an outcry* that also fuelled demands for complete decriminalisation.
*nagging - it works.
Nonsense.
The doctors are approving the abortion when they sign it off.
Explain why they are wrong use that word in the report?
He can't, he won't.

Case law involves interpreting different judgements across many different fields of expertise and scenarios to find similarities in current cases. To say that it hinges of specific words being present is ridiculous.

Can the woman have a termination at 32 weeks just because she wants it?
Apart from the inability to make something lawful.

Certified (no one is saying having a gun in this example is the best life decision),

Your example surely shows why it shouldn't just be up to the woman. There have to be boundaries, unless termination at any time, and for any reason, during the pregnancy is thought to be ok.
Cambridge dictionary says otherwise
Meaning of certify:
“to officially approve of something after testing itsquality and proving that it is acceptable:”

Pills by post changes things.
True, and i'm not arguing in favour of raising the limit in any way but once you accept the premise of a 'woman's right to choose', then how far should it go?
Certification in the context means the official confirmation that the medical exemptions are met, nothing to do with permission or approval That is the woman's choice. It would be bizarre in such sensitive circumstances if a doctor was akin some kind of agent of the state approving the termination.
Yes, certifying that the medical exemptions apply, a medical judgement, not an approval of the procedure.Cambridge dictionary says otherwise

That is what the law requires. If the criteria in the law are not met, in the opinion of two doctors, then the termination cannot proceed.

No one has claimed on here that they are approving the procedure or the why/how the woman has come to her decision. It is only a clinical judgement on whether the criteria in the law are met. Nothing more.
It it still ultimately an approval to proceed, or not.
