Late term abortion study

International abortion provider Marie Stopes has released a study on late term abortions (19-24 weeks) in the United Kingdom and the women who have them.

Their findings indicate that the majority of women they surveyed had abortions later in pregnancy because they didn't recognize the signs and symptoms of pregnancy. A small minority of women were aware of their pregnancy early on but they didn't have an abortion earlier on because of either denial or a change in their circumstances.

The study also includes the testimonials of post-abortive women.
