BBC News - Government loses abortion battle: "The Department of Health has lost a court battle to keep secret some details on abortion statistics.
The government was challenging an Information Tribunal decision but data on late abortions must now be disclosed.
The court case follows an application by an anti-abortion group, the ProLife Alliance, for the publication of all data on abortion in England and Wales.
The Department of Health is considering whether to appeal against the ruling.
The case dates back nearly a decade, to the release of statistics on late abortions carried out in 2001.
Abortion on what is called 'social' grounds is only legal in the first 24 weeks of pregnancy."
