The number of abortions in England and Wales has reached "staggering" levels, a Christian pro-life and pro-women leader says.
Dawn McAvoy of Both Lives UK was commenting on the Government's 2023 "Abortion statistics commentary" for England and Wales, released earlier this month. A total of 277,970 abortions are reported to have taken place.
"We have waited two years for this report, and the scale of what it reveals is staggering," she said. Both Lives UK is a UK-wide initiative of the Evangelical Alliance (EA) which describes itself as "pro-women and pro-life."
