At the moment, legal abortions in the UK are being performed at the rate of over 90,000 a year and it is considered that the number is likely to rise. But why are so many people not prepared to use contraceptives? Are the contraceptives themselves at fault or is it part of a deep-rooted attitude to sex? A drug is now being tested which makes it possible for a woman to procure her own abortion in the first few weeks of pregnancy.
