    We thank Dr Kell and Ms McMahon for their comments1 on our article2 and for sharing their experience of running an abortion service from a community setting. It is reassuring to learn that both staff and patients welcomed this service and that both contraceptive provision and sexually transmitted infection diagnosis have improved as a result. We hope other clinicians providing abortion care services may be encouraged to consider the potential benefits of providing such services from a community setting.
