Mum jailed over illegal abortion to be freed from prison after top judge calls for 'compassion not punishment'
A woman who was jailed for having an abortion after the legal time frame during lockdown will be released from prison after appealing her sentence.
Dame Victoria Sharp, sitting with Lord Justice Holroyde and Mrs Justice Lambert, said Foster’s sentence would be reduced to 14 months and that it should be suspended. The prosecution said Foster made several internet searches between February and May 2020, including 'how to hide a pregnancy bump', 'how to have an abortion without going to the doctor' and 'how to lose a baby at six months.'
