'Horrific' DIY Home Abortion Policy Blamed for 17 Percent Surge in Terminations

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : According to the latest figures from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), 123,219 abortions were carried out between January and June 2022, up from 105,488 over the same period in 2021.
45% :Michael Robinson, SPUC's executive director for public affairs and legal services, said, "DIY home abortion has led to a huge increase in abortion, normalising the destruction of unborn babies in the home with no medical supervision or support, all for the sake of abortion ideology."
44% :The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) -- a leading abortion provider -- blamed the surge on the rising cost of living, and urged the government to offer easier access to abortion without "clinically unnecessary" consultations.
36% : ""Government has a duty to defend women from the abortion industry, which manipulates ideas about 'choice' and 'autonomy' to increase abortion while not caring about women pressured into abortion by circumstances or partners and family members," said Robinson.
21% : Right To Life UK, another pro-life group, said pro-abortion campaigners led by BPAS "cynically use the tragic case of the death of Baby Lily" to call for the full decriminalisation of abortion, which "would permit abortion for any reason up to birth."
17% :The group's spokesperson Catherine Robinson called the surge in abortions a "national tragedy," adding, "It seems this tragic number of lives being lost to abortion is not enough for abortion campaigners and they are set on doing everything they can to introduce extreme abortion legislation that would likely see even more lives lost to abortion."
