25% of Pregnancies in England, Wales End in Abortion

Dr. Susan Berry 6 Aug 2021

A quarter of all pregnancies in England and Wales end in abortion, according to updated data released Thursday from the Office for National Statistics (ONS).

“The percentage of conceptions leading to a legal abortion among all women in England and Wales increased from 24 per cent in 2018 to 25.2 per cent in 2019, the second year in a row this has increased for all age groups,” said the ONS, according to a report at the Daily Mail.

About 207,000 out of 821,000 pregnancies conceived in 2019 were terminated, the highest number since 1990, when ONS began keeping records.

The number of teen abortions is at its highest level, with nearly two-thirds of pregnancies terminated among those 16 years of age and under.

In contrast, rates of births for women over 40 have tripled since the 1990s.

The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) said the data suggested a move toward starting families later in life and having fewer children.

“As women are choosing to start and complete their families later in life, they spend a greater proportion of their most fertile years trying to avoid pregnancy,” Clare Murphy, chief executive of the BPAS, said, as reported by the Daily Mail.

“There are a variety of reasons why women are choosing to delay motherhood and have smaller families – these include financial instability, desire to progress at work, and the ever-increasing cost of raising a child,” Murphy, who supports abortion rights, continued.

She added the coronavirus pandemic could “further accelerate these trends.”

Murphy said access to abortion is essential when birth control fails.  8888crybaby
