The proportion of pregnancies that lead to abortions in England and Wales is at its highest level since records began, official figures have revealed.
Almost three in ten conceptions in 2022 ended in legal abortions, up from about two in ten a decade earlier, the Office for National Statistics said.
The figure was 29.7 per cent in 2022, up from 26.5 per cent a year earlier and 20.8 per cent in 2012. The rate has generally been increasing for all age groups since 2015, the national statistics body said.
There were 247,703 conceptions leading to a legal abortion in 2022, a 13.1 per cent rise on the 218,923 recorded in 2021. The figures do not include pregnancies that ended in miscarriage or an illegally obtained abortion.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas) said that extended waiting times for some forms of contraception as well as the cost of living could be behind the increase.
Women will no longer face prosecution for having an abortion under a change in the law that was passed by MPs last month. In the biggest overhaul of abortion rules in half a century, women will no longer be breaking the law if they terminate a pregnancy after 24 weeks or without approval from two doctors.
In the last three years six women have appeared in court in England charged with ending or attempting to end their pregnancy outside abortion law, a crime that carried a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Katherine O’Brien, from the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (Bpas), said women faced “significant barriers” in access to contraception, including long waiting times and difficulties securing appointments.
“At Bpas, we regularly hear from women who are seeking an abortion after falling pregnant while waiting for repeat pill prescriptions or coil insertions.
“Emergency contraception, while not a silver bullet to unplanned pregnancy rates, remains an underutilized resource in this country, with the majority of women not accessing this vital back-up method after an episode of unprotected sex.
“The government has committed to improving access via pharmacies, but we need to see this medication reclassified so that it can be sold in a wider range of outlets, including supermarkets, so that women can access it as swiftly as possible when needed.”
“No woman should have to end a pregnancy she would otherwise have continued purely for financial reasons and no woman should become pregnant because our healthcare system is failing to provide women with the contraception they want, when they need it.”
Caroline Ansell, from the charity Christian Action Research and Education, said: “The scale of abortion in England and Wales is heartbreaking for those who recognize that every life, no matter how tiny, is precious.
“Behind these statistics are women whose stories of trauma and regret are rarely heard in public debate. Understanding that poverty can be a driving factor is especially painful. A just and compassionate society provides support so that women can carry their babies to term, then care for their children as they grow and develop.”
Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) statistics, published separately from the ONS last year, showed the figure of 251,377 abortions for women living in England and Wales in 2022 had risen by almost a fifth in a year.
Taking medications at home, known as telemedicine, was the most common procedure, accounting for 61 per cent of all abortions in 2022. This was up nine percentage points since 2021, the DHSC said.
Temporary measures put in place during the pandemic approving the use of pills via telemedicine for medical abortion up to ten weeks at home, without the need to first attend a hospital or clinic, were made permanent in England and Wales in 2022.
