FPA reacts to Abortion Statistics 2008 from the Department of Health
21 May 2009
Reacting to the latest abortion figures showing a drop in the number of women having an abortion, Julie Bentley, Chief Executive, fpa said:
“We welcome these figures showing that fewer women are experiencing an unwanted pregnancy and the turmoil this brings to their lives.
“Continued investment in contraception services to ensure all sexually active women have the right method of contraception is essential to sustain this trend.
“Abortion is a critical option for women facing an unwanted pregnancy and we welcome the news that more women needing abortion have been able to access it earlier.”
