Teenage abortions hit all-time high (England and Wales)

Caroline Flint, the health minister, admitted: "The NHS needs to work harder to reduce the demand for abortions by improving access to contraception."

No word on abstinence?

Last week MPs voted down the third proposal since October by pro-life backbenchers to increase restrictions. Next week the British Medical Association will debate recommendations to radically ease restrictions, approved by its medical ethics committee, which says women should be able to decide themselves to have abortions within the first 13 weeks - without the requirement of the consent of two doctors.

Last month Scotland's most senior Roman Catholic, Cardinal Keith O'Brien launched a fierce attack on pro-abortion Catholic politicians saying the abortion rate in Scotland was equivalent to "two Dunblane massacres a day".

FR thread here:

Scotland Cardinal says abortion is worse than Dunblane (refers to 1996 massacre of 16 children)

But the Islamofascists breed like rats..........

[Montanabound]

Well, that’s one procedure no one has to wait in line for.

Headline a decade in the future:
“Cerival cancer rates soar in England and Wales”

Sad Ping :-(

[massgopguy]

My Aunt Marion would blame this on the Beatles.

“But the Islamofascists breed like rats..........”

Yes, they do breed, while the european eunuchs fail to reproduce. Birth control and abortion will be the end of western civilization.

[britemp]

Yes, if Britains abortion figures keep increasing at this rate we will have caught up with the US abortion rate in only about 20 years. . . . . .

Mark Steyn ping.

Soon there will be no English in England.

I have a coworker who would blame this on the Beatles!

[IronKros]

their music wasn’t that bad.

What's the deal, Ms. Flint? It just a blob of tissue, right?

It's not like it's human or something. /sar

Must be a budget thingy...

[stuartcr]

I’m guessing abstinence isn’t working...

[stuartcr]

I figure that must be what God has planned...

[RachelFaith]

Oh, why don’t we do it in the road?
Yeah, why don’t we do it in the roooooaaad!
No one will be watching us.
Why don’t we do it in the road!

LOL

The figures also show that almost one third - 32 per cent - of women who had an abortion had already had at least one previous termination.

You could argue that once was a mistake, but this is sad. Criminally sad..

[dashing doofus]

As Steyn points out, the conversion of Europe to Eurabia is all but complete in France and Germany. Some more time just needs to elapse at this point.

There may be hope in Britain, I think. Denmark and, obviously, Swizerland, will offer fierce resistance.

I don’t believe America will be “alone,” as does Steyn, but our circle of friends is certainly shrinking....

I recall that the teenage abortion rate in Britain (which is what the article is about) is higher than it is in the U.S., where it is about 22 per 1000).
