More than 1,000 British girls under 15 every year are having abortions

More than a thousand girls a year aged under 15 have an abortion, figures revealed.

Terminations are being carried out on youngsters aged just 12 or 13 who have only just started secondary school.

And every year nearly 4,000 procedures are undertaken on girls who have not yet reached their 16th birthday, the legal age of consent.

Campaigners warned that the alarming figures, revealed by the Department of Health, were representative of a society where abortion was ‘on demand’ – even for very young girls who legally should not be having sex. The official statistics show that since 2002 more than 35,262 abortions were carried out on girls under the age of 16.

Last year 3,718 procedures were carried out on girls aged 15 or under – including 1,042 on girls aged 14 or younger. Of these girls, 134 were just 13 and two just 12 years old.

Not to worry. The Muslims are able to replenish Britain’s population. You’ll just have a country of Muzzies supporting Sharia Law instead of pasty white Anglos supporting their “dead” Western ideas and concepts.

Many of those girls are undoubtedly the victims of incest, statutory rape, or regular ol’ rape.

Abortion on demand is devastating to women. Not empowering. From the little women still in the womb to the pregnant teens, abortion disproportionately destroys females.

Abortions "due to risk of handicap"???

Abortions for cleft palate and club feet???

The barbarism of 'progressive' civilization knows no bounds.
