In relation to the abortion pill, Ms Donlon is saying approximately one in ten women, or 9.3%, reported to an online provider that she was experiencing a symptom and was advised to seek medical advice. One of the things that has cropped up as having the potential to prevent women seeking medical advice was referred to by our last contributor. It is the potential to be reported due to illegality with consequences for that. What approach does the HSE take to advise and reassure women that they should not fear seeking medical advice?
