Original Note:
She was convincted under the Offences against the Person Act 1861 for procuring drugs to induce an abortion. She misled BPAS saying her pregnancy was under 10 weeks, the limit for the scheme. It was in fact 32-34 weeks gestation. The legal threshold in the UK is 24 weeks. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/12/woman-in-uk-jailed-for-28-months-over-taking-abortion-pills-after-legal-time-limit
