TUC-Labour hry is pushing for new legislation that will really give women rights - although probably only in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The response to Lynne Kelly's story will hopefully strengthen that campaign, and ensure that legislation is drafted in a way that makes clear no man and no court can interfere with a woman's choice.
Such a change would of course massively reduce the number of later abortions - abortions that no one, especially the woman having them - wants to be late.
It is vital that a massive campaign is built up to push Labour into supporting such a change: it would be a huge step forward. At the same time no concessions must be made into making later abortions harder than they than they currently are.
