Abortions For The Sex And The City Generation
LatestAn analysis of recent abortion statistics from the UK indicates that in the 2000s, the abortion rate among women in their forties rose by 30 percent. Cue references to the fab four! No, really.
The Telegraph says these women are “dubbed The Sex And The City generation,” though it is unclear who is doing the dubbing aside from the Telegraph. More clear: The risk factors leading to the higher abortion rate among older women, including these women “taking chances” with contraception, presumably out of a belief that they’re no longer fertile, and to a limited extent, pre-natal screening for fetal abnormality. “In total, 8,179 women aged 40 and over terminated pregnancies last year – including more than 650 women above the age of 45, and 21 women aged 50 and over,” per The Telegraph, citing statistics from bpas, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service.
