That’s .006%. It represents the percent of legal abortions that have been performed in Great Britain to save the life of or prevent grave permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the mother.
In real numbers, that is 143 abortions. 143 of the 6,400,000 legal abortions performed in Great Britain between 1968 and 2011 for reasons other than imminent danger to the mother.
British Pro-Life advocate, David Alton, says,
With evidence accumulating of abortions carried out on the grounds of gender, and of forged authorization forms, these latest figures underline why a rigorous independent review of the 1967 [abortion] Act is long overdue and why society needs to reassess the presumption that ending the life of an unborn child is merely a matter of choice.
Perhaps most worrying of the 2012 statistics is the high number of teenagers undergoing multiple abortions. The deep psychological effects abortion can have on a woman are well publicized and recognized by most as a critical concern.
Despite this, little to nothing is being done to help those who have been through this process – with all the anguish and distress it entails –multiple times before they have even reached full emotional maturity.
Alton cited documentation for three teenage girls, who have had a combined total of 24 abortions!
