> Overstretched and underfunded abortion services in England and Wales are leaving women feeling pressured into opting for the cheaper at-home pill rather than a surgical procedure, according to research.
So this is not saying people are being pressured into having abortions, but of those wanting to have an abortion they are being encouraged to have a medical rather than surgical abortion.

Click bait. From the guardian…Well I never.
Interesting. If I were pregnant again I know I would rather have a surgical than medical abortion, it would come down to how much longer the wait would be for the latter I suppose.
Feels like there is a sudden influx of abortion articles to this sub. Wonder if this is the beginning on a long term effort to sway public opinion and make abortion a wedge issue.
To those who think a US scenario can’t happen here, these comments by another poster seem pertinent:
“They’ll just use a different tactic in the UK. Look at how successful demonising the word “woke” has been. Only a handful of terminally online people in the Uk ever unironically referred to themselves as woke. Yet now, thousands of middle-aged and older, conservative Brits will start frothing at the mouth at the mere mention of the word.
The overwhelmingly right wing print media could start running scare stories about; complications from abortion, young working class girls using it as contraception or even “Jeremy Corbyn and Dianne Abbot want to abort your straight, white grandchildren to make space for more immigrants”. Then I could see the same change in public attitude as with the word Woke. After that the Conservatives would start adding pointless regulations to make it harder for women to access abortions.”
