The number of women having an abortion in England and Wales exceeded 200,000 for the first time last year.
There has been an increased figure almost every year since the legalisation of abortion in 1967 – and the indications are this year's figure will be even higher.
Britain's termination rate is already the highest in Western Europe, and if trends continue it will bypass the U.S. within a decade as the place where the greatest proportion of births are terminated.
The shocking figures came just months after MPs rejected moves to restrict abortion to under 20 weeks only, in a bid to call a halt to the year-on-year rises.
The limit for social abortions stayed at 24 weeks.
Pro-life MPs say the figures prove that abortion has become so commonplace that hundreds of women are using it as a form of contraception.
Nadine Dorries, Tory MP for Mid Bedfordshire, said: 'Abortion is wrongly seen as an easy and trouble-free way of ending a pregnancy. It has moved from a resource that women turn to in an emergency and a point of crisis to becoming a form of contraception.
'This has been brought about as a result of an ill-conceived notion that it is just a minor procedure with no side or lasting effects, but this is not the case.'

Baby killers.
Binge drinking usually = babies. It is quite the norm for the young to go on summer and spring vacations to see how many people they can ‘shag’. Corfu, Tenerife, Majorca, etc.

We all know this is the case ,,, why can’t we find a law firm that wants to grow rich representing women harmed by abortion and abortionists??
The tragic results of the sexual revolution are literally destroying us.
Gee, the Planned Parenthood types told us that wider availability of prophylactics and other so-called birth control would make the numbers in Western Europe go down, not up.
(P.S. China still has the highest number of abortions, I believe, and Russia the highest proportion. Japan has an extremely high rate as well. So England and Wales will not set a world record by any stretch.)
a reckless society, determined to self-destruct
Seven unelected, unaccountable on this earth blackrobes sentenced tens of millions to death. And to justify their horrors these minor gods cloaked themselves with the very Constitution designed to limit their powers.
US as world termination capital? BS ... try China with 400 million abortions.
The abortionist and the aborting “mother” are both murderers. Both are equally guilty of killing babies. The ultimate evil. Millions and millions of souls not allowed to live on earth, not allowed to take one breath before a selfish murderer took the child’s life. It doesn’t get any more cold blooded than that.

On a small scale, liberals abort themselves out of existence. On a larger scale, liberal nations abort themselves out of existence and gradually make way for a new, baby-oriented people to replace them. Demographics are destiny.
