A study found that adults in the U.K., which has some of the highest teen pregnancy rates in Europe, can be just as irresponsible as teenagers when it comes to safe sex.

Glasgow Hospital studied their records showing birth control methods of those women requesting abortions and found that the rates of teen women who did not use contraceptives was about that same as those women ages 20 and older

In a bid to reduce abortion rates, Britain's leading abortion provider has urged women and young girls to stock up on the "morning-after" pill, in case they have unprotected sex.

The morning after pill, known as Emergency contraception (EC) (also known as Emergency Birth Control (EBC) or postcoital contraception) refers to measures that, if taken after sex, may prevent pregnancy

Women of childbearing age who have been treated for with breast cancer need not wait the recommended two years before attempting to conceive, an Australian report says. Researchers from the University of Western Australia looked at 123 breast cancer patients and found that women who conceived within two years of their treatment instead had better survival rates.

To investigate the validity of the two-year conception abstinence advice, Dr. Angela Ives and colleagues identified 123 women ages 15 to 44 who were diagnosed with breast cancer and had at least one pregnancy after their diagnosis. Sixty-two women conceived within two years of their diagnosis -- 29 of them had an abortion, 27 had a live birth, and six miscarried

According to a new study, thin or skinny women who get pregnant are 72 percent more likely to miscarry in the first three months of pregnancy than their normal weight counterparts. However, the risk can be reduced up to 50 percent by eating the right food or taking multivitamins like folic acid, say researchers.

The researchers from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine carried out their study on 603 British women aged 18 to 55 who had miscarried within three months of getting pregnant

Scientists now say that a substance used for aborting pregnancies may be able to fight breast and ovarian cancer.

Mifepristone or RU-486 blocks the sex-hormone, progesterone, which causes cancer cells to proliferate
