Consent and abortion: women must be free to choose the procedures

Women seeking an abortion do not always have a choice regarding the method, which is often determined by the healthcare providers’ discretion. This deprives them of an informed choice and genuine consent regarding how the abortion is performed. Consent is not just saying yes; it is being able to say yes under conditions that respect people’s choices—even those of minors—without coercion or dependency.
