Doctors are severing their ties with the British Medical Association (BMA) after it backed the decriminalisation of abortion.
According to the Mail on Sunday, more than 20 doctors have announced that they will leave the union, with more expected to follow.
Dr Jessica Hudson, a neonatal doctor at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, told the newspaper that she could not reconcile the BMA’s new ‘extreme’ stance with her lifesaving work.
