'I felt ashamed at having two abortions in a year'

Sam had two abortions in seven months.

She tried lots of different types of contraception but suffered with side-effects so instead had been tracking her cycle on an app.

It comes as a YouGov survey of more than 1,600 people suggests public attitudes to abortion are becoming more liberal:

  • 53% of those surveyed wanted to see the 24-week limit in England, Wales and Scotland maintained or increased, compared with 45% in 2015

  • 28% wanted to reduce the limit or ban abortions altogether, compared with 35% in 2015
