Unplanned Pregnancy and Abortion Care

Introduction







For many women, getting a positive pregnancy test can be great. But for others an unexpected and unplanned pregnancy is not welcome news. The aim of this leaflet is to help you consider your options and know your rights when pregnancy is not planned. It also deals with some of the questions that are frequently asked about having an abortion. Despite the fact that around 160,000 abortions are performed in England and Wales every year, there is still very little good information and a lot of misinformation about abortion.
