And the next pair of doctors do not approve the abortion?
Well those two definitely need reporting as they don’t understand the obligation.

They need to read the code of conduct from the BMA which tells them quite cleanly that they are not being asked to approve the abortion as the best course of action.

As you keep saying, that isn't the law.

Under normal conditions the risk of an abortion is lower than the risk of giving birth.

What do you think happens to a persons mental health if they are forced to give birth to a baby they do not want.

Hence the bar for 1.1a is very very low

What do you mean? That the abortion can not go ahead without their approval?

Who knew.... :rolleyes:

More irrelevance.
 
Show me in the abortion act where it states they must approve the abortion
The meaning of the act is clear. If doctors opinions don't mean anything they wouldn't be included in the first place.

He's attempting to use the word 'approve' as a stick to beat people with. Even solicitors use the word. He seems to think that because the word approve is not used in the act, the whole argument falls apart, lol.

He's a loser and he knows it. The forum knows it too now.
 
Women should no longer have to obtain the signatures of two doctors to have an early abortion, and the upper time limit for the procedure should remain at 24 weeks, doctors' leaders said yesterday.

In evidence to an inquiry by MPs into abortion law ahead of possible amendments to legislation later this autumn the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists says the legal requirement for two signatures in the first three months of pregnancy is "anachronistic" except in very complex cases, and should be scrapped. The recommendation represents a shift in position by the college, which has not previously challenged the current law on the issue.

It brings the college into line with the British Medical Association, whose evidence to the inquiry by the Commons science and technology committee states that abortion should be available to women in the first trimester on the basis of "informed consent", and without the need for the permission of two doctors. In practice, the requirement does not stop women having an abortion but can cause delays that lead to distress, the college argues.

Has the law changed since then?
