A total of 168 women aged under 18 fell pregnant in Telford & Wrekin in 2008 - up from 162 in 2007. Across the rest of the county, there was a four per cent drop from 183 to 176, during the same period. The latest data was released by the Office for National Statistics. It showed a four per cent drop - down from 42,988 to 41,325 - across England and Wales. Of these young women, 49 per cent had an abortion, compared with 50 per cent in 2007.
