Record numbers of women are having two or more abortions, fuelling fears that they are increasingly seen as an alternative to contraception.
One third of terminations are carried out on women who have had at least one before – and some have had eight or more.
Some girls are on their fourth abortion before they reach 18, figures from the Department of Health show.
Girl power. Feminists must be proud.
The statistics have emerged as MPs consider relaxing the abortion laws to make the procedure easier to obtain.
Pro-life MPs and campaigners said it was clear that abortion is already available on demand.
In 2007, 64,230 abortions were carried out on women who had at least one before – a 12 per cent rise in four years.
Of these, 49,484 were having their second termination, 11,136 were on their third and 2,605 having number four.
Fifty-two notched up abortion number seven last year, and 29 were on at least number eight.
The number of under-18s undergoing repeat abortions is also on the rise, increasing from 1,446 in 2006 to 1,465 last year – or almost 30 a week.
Thirteen girls under 18 were among the group of women who were having at least their fourth abortion.
Repeat abortions were most common among women aged 18-24, suggesting the procedure is seen as an easy way out by those who become pregnant at university or while starting their careers.
Hmm, how about Girls + Alcohol + Feminism = Record Number of Abortions
Nadine Dorries, the Tory MP who earlier this year spearheaded a campaign to cut the abortion time limit, said: ‘The figures show very clearly that for some, easy access to abortion has fostered a careless attitude to contraception and has itself become a form of contraception when required.’
Citing research which showed having an abortion raises the risk of mental health problems later in life, she said: ‘Young women have the right to know the consequences of abortion, particularly repeat abortions.’
Abortions are carried out in two ways. Early pregnancies can be ended by taking two miscarriage-triggering drugs over a 48-hour period.
Women also have the choice of a ‘surgical’ abortion, in which the unborn baby is suctioned or scraped out of the womb under anaesthetic.
Both techniques can also be used late in pregnancy – but will be preceded with a lethal injection into the baby’s heart.
But Dr Kate Worsley, of Marie Stopes International, which carries out around a third of UK abortions, said it was ‘ ludicrous’ to suggest women viewed abortion as a form of contraception.
‘Whether or not to have an abortion can be one of the most difficult decisions a woman has to make,’ she said. ‘No woman undergoes such a serious procedure lightly.’
Well of course she is going to say that, her company gets paid performing abortions. Ripping out your babies and throwing them in the rubbish bin puts food on their table. I wonder if repeaters get a discount from the taxpayer (who pays, as always.)
The more I have researched abortions, ‘family planning clinics’ and the like, the more I have turned against them. We all know the rules. If you don’t want children, use protection or better yet, don’t have sex. Simple really. But as is usually the case when you remove the consequences of a particular behaviour, incidences of that behaviour will increase if it appeals to a persons instincts. The promotion of abortions is done purely for reducing the worlds population, not because of ‘overpopulation’, a myth I have written about here, but because less people are easier to enslave.
In fact, all of those extra babies would go a long way to balancing our our birth rate, which is currently way below replacement rates, something that always happens with societies that adopt feminism. This conveniently encourages the Government to encourage immigration from other countries, including ones with diametrically opposed cultures and religions. These in turn create ghettos in the host nation, creating social disharmony. But bad news for the People usually means good news for the Police State.
