An anti-abortion group has called for a ban on abortion pills being sent by post after a man was convicted of poisoning a woman with them.
Stuart Worby, 40, secretly spiked the orange juice of a woman with an abortion-inducing drug.
He was found guilty of sexual assault and administering a poison or using an instrument to procure a miscarriage and has been jailed for 12 years.
Worby, of Dereham, Norfolk, crushed a tablet of mifepristone into the drink of his victim then inserted another abortion drug inside her, after sexually assaulting her while she was blindfolded.
She had a severe physical reaction within a few hours, suffering vomiting, diarrhea, a high temperature and bleeding.
Right To Life UK is now calling on the government to suspend the ability for people to receive the pills by post, which was introduced during the pandemic, BBC News reported.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service argued women should be able to have safe access to abortions and should not be punished for the actions of abusive men.
Portuguese-national Nueza Cepeda was caught on CCTV giving Worby the drugs that he used to spike the victim.

The woman, who is entitled to lifelong anonymity as the victim of a sexual offence, was 15 weeks pregnant when she miscarried.
A team of detectives who investigated the crime described it as one of the most shocking cases they had ever seen.
Cepeda had obtained the drugs by calling a London clinic posing as a pregnant woman who already had a family and wanted to terminate her pregnancy.
Cepeda, 39, of Dereham, pleaded guilty to supplying an instrument to procure a miscarriage, and was given a 22 month jail sentence suspended for two years.
The video, released by police also shows officers at Worbys home where he was arrested.
Worby accepted he had obtained the medication unlawfully but denied he ever gave it to the woman. One of the drugs used was found in foetal tissue following a post mortem examination.
The scheme which provides abortion pills by post enables women who are less than ten weeks pregnant to access abortion pills after a consultation with the doctor over the phone or via a video consultation.
The scheme was made permanent in March 2022 after initially being set up during the pandemic to ensure women had access to early terminations.

Some critics of the scheme say the lack of in-person appointments leaves the process open to abuse.
Earlier this year, a cross-party group of MPs called for face-to-face medical appointments to come back as a requirement.
Right To Life UK campaigns on issues such as abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Catherine Robinson, a spokesperson for the group, has called on the government to end the ability to obtain abortion pills by post in light of the Worby case.
She told BBC News: If at-home abortions had not been introduced, Stuart Worby would not have been able to obtain these pills from this abortion provider, and this tragic case would not have happened.
The woman involved would not have been poisoned and her baby would not have had his or her life ended.
The Department for Health and Social Care said there are no plans to review the system.
A spokesperson described it as a horrific case and gave their sympathies to the victim.

They said: It is crucial that women who choose abortion are able to do so safely, and the department works closely with NHS England, the Care Quality Commission and providers to ensure that abortions are provided legally and with robust clinical oversight.
They added that women prescribed medication to terminate a pregnancy were warned that it was illegal to give it to anyone else.
At first, Worby refused to take the victim to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, but he later did so and the following day she miscarried her healthy baby.
As she lost her baby, Worby text a friend saying, its working and, there is lots of blood.
In a victim impact statement read to the court the victim said she felt she had failed to protect my baby. She said she had gone from fertility clinic to fertility clinic and being a mother was a dream to me.
She added: This pain will never leave me knowing that this baby could have been my only chance to be a mother in this lifetime. I havent been able to conceive and have another baby.
Worby obtained two types of abortion drugs by persuading a friends partner to pretend she was pregnant so she could get prescribed them privately, then give them to him.
He crushed a tablet of mifepristone into the drink of his victim - who was around 15 weeks pregnant - without her knowledge in what was described by prosecutors as deliberate, well planned and callous.

Worby, of Dereham, Norfolk, later inserted a number of tablets of another abortion drug - misoprostol - inside the woman after using deception to engage in sexual activity with her.
He was jailed for 12 years for administering poison or using an instrument with intent to procure a miscarriage, and a concurrent eight years for sexual assault by penetration.
At Norwich Crown Court, Worby was also ordered to pay £10,000 compensation to his victim. He had denied both charges, but was found guilty at an earlier trial.
The woman who miscarried described her anguish at losing her baby in an emotional victim impact statement, saying she was now unable to have children after being diagnosed with an ovarian deficiency.
She said that her miscarriage had left her suffering grief that will never heal knowing that she had failed to protect her baby.
The woman said in her statement: I keep thinking what I could have done to protect my baby, but I have the deep pain of knowing that I have failed.
This pain will never leave me, knowing that this baby could have been my only chance of being a mother in this lifetime.
Although I now have a wonderful partner, we have been unable to conceive. I have to face the knowledge that the only baby I could have had was lost.
The victim described being cross examined at Worbys trial as a horrible feeling which had made her more upset.
She added: I had a healthy pregnancy and was looking forward to giving birth to a beautiful baby. Becoming a mother was a dream that I was always hoping for.
