A 44-year-old woman was jailed for 28 months for taking abortion pills after the legal limit in the UK. The case has sparked outrage among abortion rights activists, who say that the sentence is too harsh and that the UK's abortion laws are outdated. Anti-abortion activists have welcomed the sentence, saying that it sends a strong message that abortion is illegal after 24 weeks of pregnancy. The case has highlighted the need for a more nuanced discussion about abortion in the UK.
