Dr Dermot Kearney, former President of the Catholic Medical Association (UK), was challenging a ruling that prohibited him from providing life-saving treatment to unborn babies after their mothers regretted taking the first abortion pill, Mifepristone. Several women who received help from Dermot spoke out, testifying to the care he gave them, in many instances resulting in the birth of a healthy baby. Thankfully, just before the case was due to go to the High Court, the General Medical Council (GMC) reversed the ban against him, after concluding that there was no case to answer.
