10,372,100* unborn babies have lost their lives to abortion in England, Wales and Scotland since 1968 when the Abortion Act 1967 came into effect.
Last Saturday, 27 April, marked 56 years since the abortion law came into force.
In 2021, (the last full year for which abortion statistics are available) more than one baby was lost to abortion every two and a half minutes; 26 lives were ended every hour.
The number of abortions in England and Wales has reached a record high with 214,869 taking place in 2021, while in Scotland in 2022, there were a record 16,596 abortions, 2,659 more than in 2021 or a 19.08% increase from 13,937 in the previous year.
This significant rise in abortions in England and Wales has accompanied the introduction of 'DIY' home abortion services that have been operating in England and Wales since March 2020. Since 'DIY' home abortions were introduced, a number of significant problems have arisen.
