A very difficult subject but one that should be discussed.
According to the BBC in 2006 the rate of abortion for England and Wales rose to an astounding 193,000 per year.

Shockingly though, only 1% of this was because the child in question would be seriously disabled.

I've got to admit, i am generally in favour of abortion because i do think a woman has a right to make an informed decision and in some cases an unplanned pregnancy could have devastating effects on the mothers life.
However, it is completely unacceptable for women to use abortion as a method of contraception.

Sex education is presented in most schools and many clinics are available where young men and woman can get free contraception and advice about sexual health. With such resources available it seems completely ridiculous for a woman to play the sex lottery knowing that she doesn't want a baby.
I can fully appreciate that many women become pregnant due to 'accidents' such a split condom or ineffective pill, and they should have the right to an abortion if they so chose.
However, if a person enters intercourse knowing that they are taking a risk then the right to an abortion should be seriously questioned and possibly denied.

The most ridiculous thing is that the statistics on this website show that 32% of women having an abortion will have already had at least one termination. Now this i do not agree with.
Dealing with an abortion can have a serious psychological effect on a woman, so why put yourself through it again? I really can't understand it. Everybody makes mistakes, i know that, but making the same mistake twice is seriously naive.

Anybody who wants a second termination without a valid reason should be denied such a procedure, as they have willingly subjected themselves to that consequence twice.
Personally, i think that a termination should be a last resort, and by this i mean taking appropriate action to avoid it, and anyone who doesn't should face the consequences of being so stupid in the first place.
