"Number of abortions

In England and Wales, legal abortion statistics are published by the Department of Health and Social Care. The total number for 2018 was 205,295:[116]

• 191,555 for residents of England;[117]
• 9,053 for residents of Wales;[118] and
• 4,687 for non-residents.[119]

Legal abortions were carried out on the following grounds in England and Wales:

• 196,083 (97.7%) - risk of injury to physical or mental health of the pregnant woman;
• 3,269 (1.6%) - substantial risk of serious physical or mental abnormality in the unborn child;
• 1,104 (0.6%) - risk of injury to physical or mental health of any existing children of the family of the pregnant woman;
• 145 - risk to life or to prevent grave permanent injury (non-emergency);
• 7 - risk to life or to prevent grave permanent injury (emergency).[120]

Statistics for Scotland are published by NHS Scotland. The total for 2018 was 13,286.[121] A small number of women travel to Scotland from countries where terminations are not so accessible and may be counted as Scottish residents if they provide a temporary Scottish postal address.[122]

Legal abortions were carried out on the following main grounds in Scotland:

• 13,121 (98.8%) - risk of injury to physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; and
• 159 (1.2%) - substantial risk of serious physical or mental abnormality in the unborn child.[123]

Where there is only a small number of abortions for a particular ground, the number is suppressed by statisticians to avoid the risk of disclosing the identity of the persons involved, especially in smaller jurisdictions.

Statistics for Northern Ireland are published by the Department of Health. The total for 2017-2018 was 12.[124] As indicated, abortions are permitted in Northern Ireland if the act is to save the life of the mother, or if there is a risk of permanent and serious damage to the mental or physical health of the mother.

In 2018, 1,053 women from Northern Ireland travelled to England or Wales for an abortion; these were undertaken on the following grounds:

• 1,034 (98.2%) - risk of injury to physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; and
• 19 (1.8%) - substantial risk of serious physical or mental abnormality in the unborn child.[125]

In the same year, 2,879 women from the Republic of Ireland travelled to England or Wales for an abortion. The main reasons for those abortions were as follows:

• 2,788 (96.8%) - risk of injury to physical or mental health of the pregnant woman; and
• 84 (2.9%) - substantial risk of serious physical or mental abnormality in the unborn child.[126]

The Republic introduced limited legislation on abortion through the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013. The Eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which had (since 1983) acknowledged the right to life of the unborn child with due regard to the equal right to life of the mother, was repealed by a referendum in May 2018 and new abortion legislation was introduced through the Health (Regulation of Termination of Pregnancy) Act 2018. "

"Post 1967 there was a rapid increase in the annual number of legal abortions, and a decline in sepsis and death due to illegal abortions."

"[127] In 1978 121,754 abortions were performed on women resident in the UK, and 28,015 on non-resident women.[128] The rate of increase fell from the early 1970s and actually dipped from 1991-95 before rising again. The age group with the highest number of abortions per 1000 is amongst those aged 20–24. 2006 statistics for England and Wales revealed that 48% of abortions occurred to women over the age of 25, 29% were aged 20–24; 21% aged under 20 and 2% under 16.[129]

In 2004, there were 185,415 abortions in England and Wales. 87% of abortions were performed at 12 weeks or less and 1.6% (or 2,914 abortions) occurred after 20 weeks. Abortion is free to residents,[127] 82% of abortions were carried out by the public tax-paid National Health Service.[130]

The overwhelming majority of abortions (95% in 2004 for England and Wales) were certified under the statutory ground of risk of injury to the mental or physical health of the pregnant woman.[130]

By 2009 the number of abortions had risen to 189,100. Of this number, 2,085 are as a result of doctors deciding that there is a substantial risk that if the child were born it would suffer from such physical or mental abnormalities as to be seriously handicapped.[131]

In a written answer to Jim Allister, the Northern Ireland health minister Edwin Poots disclosed that 394 abortions were carried out in Northern hospitals for the period 2005/06 to 2009/10 with the footnote that reasons for abortions were not gathered centrally.[132]

190,800 abortions were notified as taking place in England and Wales in 2013. 0.2% fewer than in 2012; 185,331 were to residents of England and Wales. The age-standardised rate was 15.9 abortions per 1,000 resident women aged 15–44 years; this rate increased from 11.0 in 1973, peaked at 17.9 in 2007, and fell to 15.9 in 2013.[133] For comparison, the EU average is only 4.4 abortions per 1,000 women in child-bearing age.[134]

Since approval of abortion in the UK in 1967 to 2014, 8,745,508 abortions have been performed.

In 2018, the total abortions in England and Wales was 205,295. In this year, the abortion rate was highest for those of the age of 21, and 81% were for those who were single.[135] "

The above, is the life and death reality of Abortions in general, in the U.K..

@ZeusAres42

1.5 million innocent fetuses are killed each year, because the female, is defending her lifestyle choice, with legalized death, with the sterile anonymous approach called abortion?

"@TKDB, right, so you're gonna avoid the issue because you are too scared to answer right?
Because you know the pro-life argument breaks down here right?
You can say whatever you like.
It won't change the truth and reality as it is.
But try as much as you must.
And good luck with that.
And Idk why you're turning the questioning back on me?
Answering a question with a question is not answering a question.
You're the one that values the unborn more than the life of the mother.
Why is that @TKDB?"

@Plaffelvohfen

Same questions to you:

Are you pro Abortion and pro Criminal?

And if you are pro Abortion and pro Criminal, does that mean that you place an incarcerated murderers life, as being more important than the life of an innocent fetus? 

Abortion is anti Life, anti Family, anti Child, anti Community, and anti Humanity.

Just as Murder, is anti Life, anti Child, anti Family, anti Community, and anti Humanity. 

@ZeusAres42

Here's what your overall response was to those very same questions that you refuse to answer still?

"Wow. You got all that just by me saying you cannot be pro-life and support the death penalty at the same time? Really? Wow!"

@ZeusAres42

So you can keep playing your Atheist avoidance game, with your other avoidance answer?

"If you think I said anything which was like bullying then please don't decide to actually get a job in either politics or science. If you cannot handle what I said, then you will literally fall apart in these professions where questions and criticisms to some may come across as brutal. But the difference between them and you is that they all welcome this. Well, perhaps more the scientists than the politician's haha. It's how we learn."
