Any feedback from the Radio 4 spot? No radio at work and no sound card for "listen again."

Yes, it's all very, very depressing. It's quite simply seeking to restrict legal, safe abortion by stealth. It's the same tactic that has been employed to very good effect in many states in the US. Basically, when you know you probably can't ban abortion outright, you just enact measures that make it harder and harder to get an abortion, to the point where it's effectively impossible. The outcome is pretty well the same.
