Professor Eva Pajkrt:

We have said that, in making decisions, we focus more on what women want. I say women since I am a gynaecologist and do not generally deal with men. If one knows that a woman has become pregnant and is considering a termination, it is good medical practice to ask the woman whether or not she wants to see the scan. If one knows as a general practitioner, GP, that the woman is maybe considering an abortion, it is good medical practice to inform the professional one is referring to with as many details as medically necessary about that woman.
