Dr Helen Watt Discusses Abortion Statistics on GB News

Its worse than it has ever been”. Dr Helen Watt, Senior Research Fellow at the Anscombe Centre, and author of The Ethics of Pregnancy, Abortion and Childbirth, talked to GB News on the latest Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) abortion figures for England and Wales, which tragically show that 25% of all pregnancies are terminated in that part of the UK. Here is a snippet of the interview:

Sincerest Thanks for Your Support

Staff are grateful to all those who sustained the Centre in the past by their prayers and the generous financial support from trusts, organisations, communities and especially from individual donors, including the core funding that came through the Day for Life fund and so from the generosity of many thousands of parishioners. We would finally like to acknowledge the support the Centre has received from the Catholic community in Ireland, especially during the pandemic when second collections were not possible.

We would like to emphasise that, though the Centre is now closed, these donations have not been wasted but have helped educate and support generations of conscientious healthcare professionals, clerics, and lay people over almost 50 years. This support has also helped prevent repeated attempts to legalise euthanasia or assisted suicide in Britain and Ireland from 1993 till the end of the Centre’s work on 31 July 2025.
