A postal abortion service that provided a 24-hour helpline and medical terminations to thousands of Australian women has closed shop after almost four years of operation.

The Tabbot Foundation, which posted abortion drugs to callers after screening them over the phone, reportedly shut down last week and will cease operating once the last of its patients has been treated.
