Multiple Abortions The Norm?

In 2008, 19,000 girls under 18 who had a termination had previously undergone one earlier abortion for an unwanted pregnancy – and in at least one case a teenage girl had her eighth abortion.
74 teenagers had their third abortion and a further 15 girls under the age of 18 had previously had between three and six earlier abortions.
The exact details remain hidden from public scrutiny because of government secrecy on abortion figures.
These figures raise the possibility that for some girls abortion is not seen as a traumatic life event, but a routine way of dispensing with an unwanted pregnancy.
It also points to the failure of contraception services for young girls, as rather than going on the pill, girls are choosing to take the risks and have unprotected sex knowing they could get pregnant or expose themselves to sexually transmitted diseases.
