Abortions Kill 1 in 3 Babies in the UK

In this LifeNews.com article, The Christian Institute reports that abortions now kill one in three babies in the UK, with conception data showing a record high of 32.1% of pregnancies ending in abortion in 2023.

• UK Office for National Statistics data revealed 279,970 abortions in 2023, a 13% increase from the prior year, with the percentage of conceptions leading to abortion rising steadily since 2015.
• Abortions have surged 35.2% since 2019, driven by permanent “pills-by-post” policies introduced during the pandemic that allow at-home abortions without in-person medical consultation.
• Babies are over three times more likely to be aborted if parents are unmarried, highlighting family structure impacts.
• Advocates like Angus Saul called the statistic shocking and urged ending pills-by-post, citing risks including late-term abortions and abuse by men spiking pregnant women.
• Bioethicist Dr. Calum Miller noted younger generations, especially men under 30, are increasingly pro-life, emphasizing the need to fight for children, mothers, and intact families.
• The Christian Institute warned that politicians are pushing to further weaken protections for the unborn, including decriminalizing abortions up to birth.
