There is a growing number of young women who have chosen to abort foetuses for “social” reasons after fertility treatment. Figures obtained under freedom of information rules show that an average of 80 abortions are carried out each year after IVF, which can cost about £5,000. Up to half of these involve women aged 18-34. Ann Widdecombe, the former Tory minister, said women who terminated pregnancies for non-medical reasons were treating their babies like “designer goods”. She said: “If the law was being applied properly, people wouldn’t be able to get an abortion just because they changed their minds.”
This was really shocking to read, I cannot understand the women who go through all that trouble to get pregnant only then to decide that they are not ready and decide to have an abortion. I agree with Ann Widdecombe that the law should stop these woman from having an abortion. On its own, I am by no means necessary against abortion, but when a woman decided to go through with an IVF treatment, on the cost of the government, and get pregnant I think they should not be allowed to get an abortion. Let those babies be born and adopted by a family that does want the child.
