snip-"Exclusive data provided by Pregnant then Screwed found 87 per cent of parents using childcare say the cost is stopping them from having more children. While last year the organisation found six in 10 women who have had an abortion said the cost of childcare in the UK put them off pregnancy."

snip-"Louise McCudden, of MSI Reproductive Choices, said while there was “rarely one single reason” driving someone’s decision to have an abortion, its staff “are certainly hearing more and more stories where financial pressures play a bigger role”.

At least safe medically accessible abortions are available in the UK countries.
For many American women it is not.
