If you want to read up on the background to this measure (which has been described as the effective sterilisation of women with epilepsy) here by @R_Arkell

Or to put this another way - Government body issues instruction that epileptic women cannot access their basic medical care unless they agree to never reproduce (and prove it to their doctors on a regular basis).
You might hope I'm overstating things - I'm not.

Today the PM issued some cold and borderline inhuman rhetoric on benefit reforms.
Again he wants to make life harder for Disabled and vulnerable people after announcing a "chilling" set of reforms to force people back to work.
This persecution has to end.
