Teenagers are using repeat abortions as a form of birth control, with some girls having four or more terminations by the age of 18, it has been claimed.
Nearly 1,500 of the 19,000 girls under 18 who had a termination last year had previously undergone one earlier abortion for an unwanted pregnancy – and in at least one case a teenage girl had her eighth abortion.
Department of Health data for 2008 reveals 74 teenagers had their third abortion and a further 15 girls under the age of 18 had previously had between three and six earlier abortions.

I'm not against abortion. I do think some, especially in the uk should be made to pay for the cost after the first abortion. is it the same in the usa? the amount of abortions for 18 yr olds. should the husbands or boyfriends have a choice? i say no but what do you lot think?
