No confusion here.. please enlighten me.. I presume that "conception" would mean the woman is pregnant? .of course having an abortion would end ..as for me being more accurate are you joking?.. accuracy does not seem to be one of the Tories strong points... can you back up your figures that half of these pregnancies end in abortion?.... tell you what why not just plum for 54% ...
The Tory party said the conception rate for this age group in the 10 most disadvantaged areas of England was 54%, while the real figure was 5.4%.
