A recent poisoning incident involving abortion pills has sparked urgent calls for an investigation into the safety of these medications
Norwich: So, there’s been a pretty shocking case that’s got everyone talking. A guy named Stuart Worby was sentenced to 12 years for poisoning his partner with abortion pills. He got these pills by having a friend pretend to be a woman seeking an abortion. Can you believe that?
Worby spiked her drink while she was blindfolded, thinking it was all part of some “kinky” game. It’s just awful. The victim, who can’t be named, is now unable to have kids because of this. Sir John Hayes, a former Tory minister, is really pushing for the health secretary, Wes Streeting, to look into this. He thinks this might just be the start of a bigger problem.
Hayes is asking some tough questions about what the Department of Health is doing to prevent this from happening again. He wants to know if they’re tracking any medical issues related to these pills and if they’re aware of other similar cases. It’s a serious situation, and he’s not letting it slide.
During the pandemic, rules were relaxed to allow women to get these pills by post, which was meant to help during lockdown. But now, it seems like there’s been a spike in emergency calls related to these medications. In London alone, there’s been a 26% increase in 999 calls since 2018. Other regions are seeing similar trends, and it’s raising a lot of eyebrows.
