The woman - who Sky News is not naming - lied to the service and claimed she was seven weeks pregnant.The termination was eight to 10 weeks later than the 24-week legal period for having an abortion in England, Scotland and Wales. The woman initially lied and said she wasn't pregnant, and then made a second call after her daughter was born.That evening, the woman searched:"Could I go to jail for aborting my child at 30 weeks?"Judge Mr Justice Pepperall - speaking at Stoke Crown Court - said the woman had made a tragic and unlawful decision to obtain a very late abortion.
