Women Who Have Abortions Again And Again; Lady Had 6 In A Year!

A dramatic rise in repeat abortions has reinforced fears that women are increasingly having terminations for lifestyle reasons.

One in three abortions is now carried out on women who have had at least one before. London's DAILY MAIL reports on Monday.

Figures from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service suggest that women who become pregnant at university or at the start of their careers see abortion as a means of delaying motherhood.

Women between 20 and 24 have taken over from teenagers as the largest age group to have terminations-while only one in 100 abortions is carried out solely because of a medical risk to the baby.

It was revealed that one woman from London had six abortions in just 12 months!

Campaigners warned that the emotional and physical risks of abortion were being 'swept under the carpet'. The procedure can make it more difficult for women to ever start a family and many later suffer depression.

Researchers said the trend could be reversed if more support was available for mothers trying to juggle careers and families.

The new figures from the BPAS, Britain's leading abortion provider, reveal that 181,582 terminations were carried out in England and Wales in 2003, a 3.2 per cent increase on the previous year and a 15 per cent rise since 1993.

Among these some 57,241 - 32 per cent - were on women who had already undergone a termination at least once. This is almost a third higher than the 1993 figure.

from high school through i was about 22, if i got a chick prego i would have pushed for abortion. at this point in my life though the thought of it makes me ill . im still pro choice, but my own personal beliefs are pro life. it would have to be an extreme circumstance right now for me to want to terminate a life i helped create.

i work in a hospital, and the staff in the ob, or OR where ever they do abortions, tell me that they have the same people come in every couple of months for them, god forbid they use birth control. They use abortion as thier birth control instead, isn't that a hell of alot more expensive that a sponge, closing thier legs, or something. They're usually druggies that come in too. Have a few more hits off the bong, or the crack pipe, maybe they'll OD, and we wont have to worry anymore

Repeat abortions for lifestyle reasons disgusts me. There are so many good people out there that are unable to have a child, and would give just about anything int he world to have.

I was all for it when I was younger too because I think I was just being selfish. I didn't want kids to fuck up my life was my attitude. Now, like Mike, the thought of it makes me sick. I think about my own children when I think of abortion and I can't imagine not having any one of them. With Cameron, they almost made it sound like an option once they found out he was sick. They wanted to run tests on his in utero that weren't necessary. We knew he was sick, fine. Amy and I weren't going to kill him for it. Now I sit here and look at him while he's peacefully sleeping and I can't imagine my life without him. I think if there was a way for people to catch a glimpse of what they're killing, the abortion rate would decrease.

I read an article about abortion last week that I found interesting. I'll see if I can find it. It's a strange twist in support of abortion.

This makes me fucking irate. Christ. People who use abortions as birth control should be sterilized. Anyone that has more than 3 abortions should be sterilized. I don't care. Sure everyone might fuck up once or twice, even three times, but after that, you aren't responsible enough to not get yourself pregnant, you certaintly aren't responsible enough to take care of a child ever, so I say sterilize the bitches.
