On Mary Co-Redemptrix, it is better to deepen our understanding than to misunderstand

England blames record abortions on economic crisis
A record number of abortions were performed in England and Wales in 2023, with almost 280,000 unborn children affected. Economic problems are cited as the main reason, with the cost of living and soaring childcare costs being the main factors. Easy access to chemical abortion acts as a multiplier.
