Last year, the U.K. saw a record number of abortions. The latest figures from the British Department of Health reveal a +17pt year-on-year increase in abortions in England and Wales since 2022. There were over 250K abortions that year, the highest since its decriminalization in 1967. According to abortion healthcare providers, the increase in demand is largely due to the cost-of-living crisis which we know stressed out young Brits and impacted their finances. (iNews)
