if the woman says - and two doctors agree - that her mental or physical health would be compromised if she were to continue with the pregnancy, she would be allowed an abortion. uppose it could be argued that having a baby with an abnormality might contribute to this.
I can't see much difference between the new guidelines and what has always happened. Abortion is available on demand, whether it's totally legal or not.
