British inspectors have barred some abortions at Marie Stopes International due to concerns about safety and informed consent for abortion.
Clara Watson, a spokeswoman for the Life charity that helps women in crisis pregnancies, said the move calls into question about the safety of the abortion providers' clinics around the world.
"It is absolutely scandalous that Marie Stopes International, which likes to talk about women dying from unsafe abortions, is itself being rapped for exposing patients to potential harm," Watson said, according to the Catholic Herald. "This is not the first time that Marie Stopes clinics have been in the news."
In 2015, a doctor and two nurses were charged with manslaughter when a 32-year-old woman from Dublin died hours after undergoing an abortion at a west London Marie Stopes clinic in January 2012.
