In theory, under the Abortion Act 1967, a woman's physical or mental health must be at risk for the abortion to proceed. Two doctors must sign that this is the case. However, due to the statistical technicality that carrying a baby to full term is more dangerous than an abortion, due to the risks of childbirth, all elective abortions are permitted and women do not generally have to give a reason.<ref>http://www.efc.org.uk/Foryoungpeople/Factsaboutabortion/MoreonUKabortionlaw</ref>
