About 1 in 4 women (roughly 25%) in the UK will have at least one abortion during their reproductive lifetime.
A recent government survey found 15% of women reported ever having had an abortion, but researchers note that abortion is substantially under-reported in surveys because of stigma and recall bias, so this is known to underestimate the true lifetime prevalence.
Official statistics show abortion rates have risen in recent years. In England and Wales, 32.1% of conceptions ended in abortion in 2023, the highest proportion on record
Around 40/43% of abortions are obtained by women who have had a previous abortion, meaning the number of abortions is higher than the number of individual women who have abortions.
Because abortion rates have increased over the past decade, younger women today may ultimately have a somewhat higher lifetime probability than older generations did, although it is too early to know the final lifetime figure
