CNN —A British woman who used medication to induce an abortion after the United Kingdom’s legally allowed limit has been sentenced to prison for 28 months, the PA Media news agency reported. The woman was between 32 and 34 weeks pregnant at the time, a post-mortem examination revealed. Abortion laws in the UK stipulate that a person may be able to have a medical abortion at home if they are less than 10 weeks pregnant, according to the National Health Service. The case triggered calls for an “urgent reform” of abortion laws in the UK. A woman who had an abortion without following correct procedures just got 28 months under an 1868 act,” UK lawmaker Stella Creasy tweeted.
