[The Jailing of a Woman who procured drugs
to induce an abortion after the legal limit.

the decision to prosecute her,

The Judge would have let her off
but she failed to plead Guilty

She lied to get the Drugs
during Lockdown.

Jail was wrong.

Hard Judge.

[A mother-of-three has been jailed
for more than two years for inducing
an abortion after the legal limit.
Carla Foster, 44, received the medication
following a remote consultation where
she was not honest about how far
along her pregnancy was.

The "pills by post" scheme,
introduced in lockdown,
allows pregnancies up to 10 weeks
to be terminated at home.

However, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court
heard the woman was between
32-34 weeks pregnant when
she took them.
Abortion is legal up to 24 weeks.
However, after 10 weeks the procedure
is carried out in a clinic.
Prosecutors argued Foster had provided
false information knowing she was
over the time limit and had made
online searches which they said
indicated "careful planning".

The court heard between February
and May 2020 she had searched
"how to hide a pregnancy bump",
"how to have an abortion without
going to the doctor" and
"how to lose a baby at six months".]
