British Data Shows Repeat Abortions Increasing at Alarming Rate

London, England (LifeNews.com) -- New statistics from the British Department of Health show that more than 100 teenage girls every month have a second abortion and some of those girls are having a multiple abortion. The statistics show some teenagers are using abortion as a method of birth control and may prompt calls for tighter regulations.

According to the figures, 1,316 girls under the age of 18 had a second abortion during 2005 with 90 girls having a third abortion.

Another 44 women had undergone eight or more abortions including 20 who were under the age of 30.

A report in The Independent newspaper shows that 14 women under the age of 25 had their sixth abortion in 2005 and at least one of those women were under the age of 18.

Among the over 30s, 482 women had their fifth abortion in 2005, 92 were on their sixth and 29 were admitted for their seventh abortion.

The new data shows that repeat abortions for all age categories are up from the previous year.

Despite the grisly figures, the Department of Health claims it's making progress in reducing teenage pregnancies with a combination of abstinence and sexual education involving the promotion of birth control.

On its web site, the British health department claims "Between 1998 and 2004, the under-18 conception rate has fallen by 11.1 per cent and the under-16 rate by 15.2 per cent. Both rates are now at their lowest levels for 20 years."

In total, there were 186,416 abortions in the UK in 2005 including more than 60,000 on women who had had a previous abortion. Among the 18 to 24-year-old group, 16,474 had a second abortion while 3,060 were on their third.

I hope that one day society will realize that abstinence is the only answer.

Abortion is not birth control.

Let's at least agree upon this.

One third of women having abortions in the UK have already had at least one.

The Church is opposed to sterilization, and I try to be obedient, but in THIS case...

EIGHT abortions? Get spayed.

However, society seems to act as if it is.

Gee. I thought abortions were to be used only in cases of incest or rape. That UK is some wild place! (\sarc).

We have to establish an absolute minimum, between you and me. The rest can pipe in.

What are the numbers on AIDS and other STD's? It's got to be totally out of control if there's so much unprotected sex.

"Abortion is not birth control.

What else is it?

The number is ZERO, I am unaware of any circumstances under which women should abort her child.

Well, why would one abortion be okay, but multiple abortions be shocking or alarming? Either it's moral or it's not, the quantity is not relevant.

Perhaps the authorities should start to be shocked or alarmed at the first abortion as well.

Of course there are a lot of repeat "customers" at abortuaries.Aside from the profit-garnering of the organizations performing the atrocity, once a woman has crossed the line into committing one murder, what's a few more?

Abortion is a soul-killer. Women who have had abortions are soul-destroyed, and need our prayers and the light of God's love and healing.

Liberals continue to abort themselves into extinction, while Mohammed becomes the fifth most popular name for male babies in England.

'Liberals continue to abort themselves into extinction, while Mohammed becomes the fifth most popular name for male babies in England.'

No, Harry was the fifth most popular name. Don't let facts get in the way of your prejudices will you? Mohammed was 22nd, Muhammed was 44th. Understandable when you realise 15% of all muslims boys are named after their prophet.

'The Muslims may destroy the Brits before the Brits destroy themselves.'

The US has 20% more abortions per capita than the UK and no-one seems to know how many muslims you have due to your open borders, 5m-12m depending on who you believe - 7.5m means more muslims per capita in the US than UK.

Maybe the muslims will destroy America before the Americans destroy themselves.
