Women say they are being forced to consider having an abortion due to the soaring cost of childcare.
Heartbreaking statistics released by the charity Pregnant then Screwed have revealed nearly one in five women have terminated their pregnancy due to the cost of childcare, with six in ten women saying it influenced their decision.
It comes as the average cost of putting a child in nursery part-time in 2022 rose to over £7,000, up by 2.5 per cent for children under the age of two from last year, according to Coram Family and Childcare.
