Abortions at highest level ever in England and Wales

More abortions are taking place in England and Wales than ever before, new statistics show. Government figures show that in 2023 – the latest figures available – abortions increased by 11 per cent on the previous year. This took the total to an estimated 278,740, which was 26,618 higher than in 2022 and a rise of 36 per cent (73,445) in just five years. The Christian Institute’s Head of Communications Angus Saul said the figures were “absolutely harrowing”. “Everyone who values life across England and Wales must surely be grieved at this dramatic increase in abortions. These are not simply statistics. Each one was a unique human life, created in the image of God; and that life was snatched away before they could even take a breath."
