In 2023, the NHS paid BPAS:

• £39,000,000 to provide abortions to women not using contraception, and
• £17,000,000 to provide abortions to women whose contraception had failed.

It is hard to understand why BPAS is so enthusiastic about its campaign for improved contraception services across the NHS, including the morning-after pill, either it believes that effective contraception is better than abortion and it is content to see its business decline, or this is cynical whitewashing because it knows the NHS will not sufficiently improve services and many women will continue to use ineffective short-acting methods or none.
