Did you read down to the third paragraph of the article you're citing?
The third ground is typically interpreted liberally with regards to mental health to create a de facto state of abortion on demand, and nearly all abortions—98% in 2019 and 2020—are performed to protect the woman's mental health.
I have commented on this and I maintain what I wrote.
This is a topic periodically raised by health professional because, again, this is using the law at the limit and it would be much preferable to amend the law to make it on demand to protect everyone.
Okay, but the whole point of the article is to address the nuances around the realities of abortion access. It's not an advocacy piece, and it's not specifically about UK law.
