Number of women killed by abortion in the UK

Source: Figures are from the reports of the Confidential Enquiries into Maternal Deaths in the United Kingdom for the relevant triennium. See this page.

Notes: From 1991-93 these deaths were defined as occurring before 20 weeks of pregnancy. From 1994, 24 weeks was used as the upper gestational limit. Thus comparisons of the data between triennia may be inappropriate.
