Correct. Approval occurs once they sign and date the HSA1 form.

Ah so it doesn’t explicitly have the word approval after all.
Glad we got there.

And if 2 doctors don't sign, approve, have the right opinion?
Only regards your weak argument in this instance.
If two doctors don't sign off or 'approve' the abortion (in good faith), it is considered unlawful.
Wrong.
Introduction to completing abortion forms for abortions performed in England and Wales This guidance is intended to help doctors and clinic staff completing notifications (HSA4) for abortions performed in England and Wales. Introduction Under The Abortion Regulations 1991, as amended, if a registered medical practitioner is of the opinion, formed in good faith, that a woman has grounds for an abortion, they are required to complete a certificate of their opinion on form HSA1 or HSA2. Guidance on completion of these forms, HSA1 and HSA2 can be found via the link on the DH abortion webpage. In addition, registered Medical Practitioners are legally required, under the Abortion Act 1967, as amended, to notify the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of every abortion performed in England and Wales whether carried out in the NHS or an approved independent sector place and whether or not the woman is a UK resident. The Department of Health provides form HSA4 for this purpose.

I've been back 50 odd pages to try to find out how this argument started. I found the above which interested me and which might be helpful. What was the situation before the Act was amended in 1991?
Self referral occurs before the two doctor consultation process. It means a woman can seek an abortion at various places including directly with various places that perform an abortion. It does not bypass the two doctor approval.
Those are just opinions
You haven’t approved anything.
Hence why those 2 sentences don’t make sense

A separate piece of law that has nothing to do with the exemption from the offences against the person act.
You are now referring to the abortion regulations act.
The Abortion Regulations 1991
These Regulations (which extend to England and Wales) are made under section 2 of the Abortion Act 1967, and replace the Abortion Regulations 1968 and the three sets of amending regulations. These Regulations make new provision to take account in particular of the amendments to the Abortion Act...

But doesn’t giving an opinion and an approval mean the same thing?
