<p class="text-align-justify">In England, Scotland, and Wales, the Abortion Act 1967 allows for abortions. Access to abortion was limited in Northern Ireland. But it has now been decriminalized and is now lawful throughout the United Kingdom for the first time.<br />
In the UK, abortion can be performed only under the supervision of an NHS hospital or a registered clinic and is free. On the NHS, there are three major routes to obtain an abortion:<br />
&nbsp;An individual can self refer to an abortion provider by directly contacting them. The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), the National Unplanned Pregnancy Advisory Service (NUPAS), MSI Reproductive Choices UK, or any local NHS sexual health website can provide information on services and eligibility.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;An individual can ask their GP for a referral to an abortion clinic. If the GP does not have any objection to the abortion, then he/she should recommend her to another doctor.</p>
