Six million abortions – just 143 to save the mum’s life
Less than 150 of the six million plus abortions carried out since abortion became legal were performed to save the life of the mother, government figures show.
According to the figures 6.4 million abortions were performed on residents of England and Wales between 1968 and 2011.
Of these just 143 (0.006 per cent) were performed to save the life of the mother or to prevent serious permanent injury to the physical or mental health of the mother.

Sad, but true and very well stated. Some don't realize that the "fun" of sin, depravity, and hedonism is both false and short-lived. Judgment is coming. All of us are accountable to God for our lives.

There is a far greater prevalence of the evil of pre-natal murder among the fornicators than among the married. This would NOT be the case if marriage was of no importance to the mind set and philosophy of today's society.
Marriage remains fundamentally important in our society. But life is not.
"More than 6 million abortions later the figures reveal that in 99.5% of cases where an unborn child’s life is ended there is no risk to the health of the mother"
The main reason for murdering the unborn infant is either inconvenience or monetary. Having the child would prove to be inconvenient to the couple involved or would prove to be too expensive to have the child.

Perhaps Alton learnt something from his failed compromising?
"What, then, is Harte’s theme? Simply that restrictive abortion legislation, i.e. legislation that attempts to restrict abortion to certain time limits and categories in order to save some lives, is intrinsically unjust. This means that it can never be licit to support it or vote for it. Such an idea seems preposterous at first sight: surely, the pro-life argument runs, it is right and therefore necessary to try to mitigate the effects of abortion law if you cannot repeal it altogether.
This was certainly the thinking behind David Alton’s Abortion (Amendment) Bill of 1987, which argued for an upper time limit on abortions (18 weeks) while conceding to the pro-abortion opposition that some categories, for instance disabled children and those conceived after incest or rape, could be excluded from this time limit. At the time Ann Widdicombe MP described Alton’s proposed Bill as ‘wise, just, humane and civilised’. In retrospect, such a description seems extraordinary. As Harte explains in his patient, scholarly and courteous way, there can be nothing wise, just, humane or civilised in a country’s law which does not protect the lives of its most vulnerable citizens.
