The number of women having “selective abortions” (i.e., abortions because the baby is disabled or sick) has increased in England.
According to British pro-life author S. Nye:
“In 2011, there were 72 selective terminations in England and Wales. By 2019, that yearly total had risen to 126. This is a 75% increase in nine years. These abortions are carried out under statutory grounds E (substantial risk the child would be born seriously handicapped).”
