Ten British servicewomen on operations in Afghanistan have been sent back to the UK in the past six months after falling pregnant. The servicewomen were evacuated between April 31 and October 31 this year under military rules which ban pregnant women from being on battle duty, according to figures released to the Sunday Mirror by the Ministry of Defence (MoD). It is not an offence for a servicewoman to be pregnant. But soldiers who abuse their position, or take advantage of a colleague who may be separated from their partner for a long period of time, are subject to disciplinary procedures which can include dismissal.
