Scary thing is, though abortion is easy to access in the UK, the laws on the matter are far, far tighter.
This means that it would take very little to drastically reduce access.
So though there is little appetite amongst the public for restricting abortion, or reproductive health generally, a government in thrall to certain types of donor can impose restrictions nigh instantaneously.
Sure, there would be court cases and patients/doctors/clinics would likely win, but the law moves painfully slowly relative to human gestation.
It worries me that people take a "wouldn't happen here" attitude.
