| May 31, 2017 at 8:20 | comment | added | inappropriateCode | @SteveJessop Recently (2016) the courts have upheld a restriction which stops abortion services in England and Wales from servicing girls and women who arrive from Northern Ireland. So she might have to travel a lot further in that case. | |

| Feb 18, 2015 at 20:02 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | It isn't for everyone, nhs.uk/conditions/Abortion/Pages/Introduction.aspx says "Funding of NHS abortion services differs in various parts of the country. The level of NHS provision ranges from more than 90% of local demand to less than 60%". But I don't see how a 13-year-old could possibly not be treated as a priority. Also, abortion is mostly illegal in Northern Ireland, which is part of the UK, and the questioner only specified "UK". I don't know if there's any exception for children, or if she'd have to travel. | |

| Feb 18, 2015 at 19:57 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | "If she gets pregnant, who will pay for the abortion" -- among many difficult issues, I think that one's easy to answer. The NHS will. Of course, people who find this question in the future might not be in countries with socialised healthcare like the questioner is... | |
