English Doctors May Call for Early-Stage Abortion to Require only One Medical Opinion

Current UK law requires that two doctors must agree before termination can take place, except in emergencies.  It is being proposed that doctors support a new law that would require only one doctor’s signature in the first trimester of pregnancy.
