The latest statistics show that there were 252,122 abortions reported in England and Wales in 2022, the highest number on record and an increase of 17% on 2021’s figure.
The majority of these abortions (251,377) were to residents of England and Wales.
Catherine Robinson, a spokesperson for Right to Life UK, described the statistics as a “national tragedy”.
“Every one of these abortions represents a failure of our society to protect the lives of babies in the womb and a failure to offer full support to women with unplanned pregnancies.
“Ahead of the General Election, we are calling on the next Government to urgently bring forward new protections for unborn children and increased support for women with unplanned pregnancies. Polling shows these changes are backed by the public and this would ensure we are working together as a society to reduce the tragic number of lives that are lost to abortion each year,” Ms Robinson said.
Of the various ‘grounds’ for abortion, in 2022, 98% of abortions (247,440) were performed under ‘ground C’: “That the pregnancy has not exceeded its 24th week and that the continuance of the pregnancy would involve risk, greater than if the pregnancy were terminated, of injury to the physical or mental health of the pregnant woman.”
The vast majority (99.9%) of abortions carried out under ground C alone were reported as being performed because of a risk to the woman’s mental health.
The NHS funded almost all abortions (99%) in England and Wales in 2022, with 80% of abortions taking place in the independent sector.
Just 201 women who were resident in Ireland travelled to England and Wales in 2022 for an abortion, with 63% of these carried out under the aforementioned ‘ground C’ – an increase of 13% on 2021.
The data for 2022 also show a rise in repeat abortions from 91,313 in 2021 up to 102,689 in 2022.
Figures showed that 72 ‘selective termination’ procedures were carried out, where a twin, triplet or more were aborted while there were over 3,000 (3,124) disability-selective abortions in 2022.
In 2022, 86% of abortions were medically induced, similarly to 87% in 2021, with medical abortions surging by 38 percent since 2012 (48%).
The vast majority of abortions (82%) were for women whose marital status was given as ‘single’, which is a proportion that has remained stable over the past decade, while 51% were to those whose marital status was given as ‘single with a partner’, which has also remained constant in recent years.
Ethnicity was recorded on 91% of the forms received for 2022, and where it was recorded, 77% of those having abortions reported their ethnicity as ‘white’, 9% as ‘Asian’, 8% as ‘black’, 5% as ‘mixed’ and less than 1% as ‘other’.
Firstly, the government does everything to destroy the future of everybody and then they offer free abortions… in line with the WEF de-population practices. With their immigration policies, they are hoping for political replacement unrest and civil war in all European countries… except Switzerland, where they live.
What exactly are these “WEF de-population practices”, please?
You are right ‘WEF practices’ is the wrong word. Sometimes the correct function doesn’t work!
WHO practices is to minimise birth. The big scandal was in Kenya. They do their best to deny such events with fake-fact-checkers! The globalist-left, to who the WEF also belong, are in favour of limitless abortion laws. The discussion around to find what the WEF call ‘Food-wasters” and what solution needs to be found to ‘Fix’ that problem. Harari from the WEF has said in similar words that AI machines will do humans jobs and then there will be too many people and this will need to be fixed somehow! Gates in the WEF Forum talks about reducing the population by the use of vaccines. The introduction of a wide-ranging Euthanasia in Canada (also for depressed and unemployed people, and they are trying to introduce it for the mentally disabled, who cannot decide themselves.), comes from a government with 50% WEF members! Males and Females lose their ability to have kids after gender operations and also drug treatments, also in Canada as a WEF members example. The WHO, a UN organisation, is very connected to both the WEF and the Gates foundation (their second biggest donor behind Germany).
Fact-checkers will deny that Schwab said something directly about it, but this is not only him!

.is there homes for new mums or bigger homes for mother’s have ,3 or more kids , can average new mum afford to become muns nowadays, can Irish that emigrated a few years back return home and rear their kids or start a family or is there any accommodation for them? the bBiGg picture needs inspecting
What is it with the western world and its self induced assured destruction by killing its future and importing the third world. The exception being places like Hungary a nationalist pro life country where its citizens are incentivised to have more children through tax breaks and other state incentives and not importing the ills of multiculturalism
One admirable trait in the Muslim Creed is: they don’t “do” abortions.!
Any other statistics regarding the rate of legal activities occurring in Britain or any other country?
Nobody said it wasn’t legal. A quarter of a million children not allowed to be born – aka legally killed – is the issue. A quarter of a million future children who’d be happily running around at a playground in 3 or 4 years, but we just get rid of ’em in the womb and think nothing more of it. 👍
On that basis I’m sure it will be overturned on the legal statutes very soon. We will all watch this space.
It took several centuries to abolish slavery. For most of human history people were perfectly OK with that widespread and legal practice .
Think of every Irish baby that is not allowed to live in Ireland, which Irish taxes pay for…. and think of every non-Irish person, who is virtually dragged into Ireland, which Irish taxes pay for…
slavery was once legal too – and during WWII the holocaust was legal in Germany – but Edward only pops up now and then to air his support for the killing of innocent babies in the womb – your mother must be very proud of you.
😂🤣😂🤣😂😂
Here’s an innocent baby

Defend it well in the courts
You wouldn’t though. That’s the point
he laughs at the slaughter of innocent babies – so he doesn’t have a conscience – simply demonic – he mocks and ridicules, and quotes the law to defend his position (much like those who crucified Jesus) – but one day he will have to stand before God – his mockery to “defend it well n the courts” won’t be able to save him when he stands in the presence of Truth Himself – and no doubt he’ll come back now with more mockery with regards the faith – it won’t change the fact that one day he will have to stand before God, as will all those who support the killing of innocent children.
Like good conservatives we must trust the courts in the name of God

: bank manager 666, John I hope you get the mental health care service you desperately need ,but sadly under ff/fg/g that is a disaster
I’m sure you think the same of those poor Palestinian children, right Ed? Would you agree with their deaths if they’d occurred in the womb instead of as a result of Israeli weapons?
