'The Department of Health (DoH) has drawn up plans to radically reform the assistance given to thousands of women with crisis pregnancies.
Among them is a proposal to place abortion providers under a legal obligation to offer women access to independent counselling, stripping them from providing any "in-house" service.
Critics of the existing system say the counselling which is offered by the clinics is biased, because their funding from the state depends on the number of terminations they carry out.' (Telegraph.)
