| Description | More than a hundred teenage girls a month go into a hospital or clinic to have an abortion for the second time, figures from the Department of Health reveal. They include at least one girl under 18 who has had at least six abortions.
The statistics on multiple abortions in England and Wales, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, will provide fuel for those demanding stricter abortion laws.
They reveal that during 2005, 1,316 girls under 18 had their second abortion, and 90 were on their third.
There were 44 women who, by the end of last year, had undergone eight or more abortions, 20 of whom were under the age of 30. |
