The Sunday Telegraph on 11 Sept 05 reported that an abortion clinic in Spain is offering financial kickbacks to women with late-term pregnancies to entice them into having illegal terminations. It is also offering commission to helplines supplying the patients. "The clinic, Mediterranean Medica, based in Valencia, circumvents British and Spanish law by carrying out terminations on 26-weeks pregnant women for €2000 (£1,353) and then claiming that they were mentally ill."

In October 2004 the same newspaper revealed that the British Pregnancy Advisory Service was deliberately directing women with healthy post-24 week pregnancies towards the Clinica Ginemedix in Barcelona, where they were given illegal terminations with false paperwork. "A British Government inquiry into the scandal has yet to report its findings." Facts were unearthed by the Pro-Life Alliance.

The Mail on Sunday reported on 4 Sept 05 "Britain's leading abortion clinic has been accused of paying staff cash bonuses to carry out more terminations.

"Marie Stopes International, a registered charity, is alleged to have offered nurses payments of hundreds of pounds if they can increase the number of NHS-funded abortions they perform each day."

On 11 Sept. 05 the Mail on Sunday revealed that private abortion clinics are paying doctors to authorise terminations without their ever meeting the women involved.Anna Furedi, chief executive of the BPAS, confirmed: "Forms issued by the Dept. of Health allow for both doctors to sign, stating that they have not seen the women."
