In 2022, there were around 613 thousand legal abortions in the United States. The number of legal abortions in the United States has decreased significantly since the early 1990’s. This number will probably continue to decrease in the coming years since many states have severely limited or completely banned abortion after the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in 2022. The states with the highest abortion rates In 2022, the rate of legal abortions per live births in the United States was 19.9 per 100. In comparison, in 1990 there were 34.4 abortions per 100 live births. The states with the highest rates of abortion per live births are New Mexico, Illinois, and Florida. In Florida, there were around 37 abortions per 100 live births in 2022. Florida had the highest total number of abortions that year, followed by New York and Illinois. Missouri and South Dakota had the lowest number of abortions in 2022. Out-of-state abortions Critics of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade argue that while those who can afford it may be able to travel to other states for an abortion if their state bans the procedure, poorer residents will have no such choice. Even before the overturning of Roe v. Wade, out-of-state residents already accounted for a high share of abortions in certain states. In 2022, 69 percent of abortions in Kansas were performed on out-of-state residents, while out-of-state residents accounted for around 62 percent of abortions in New Mexico. Illinois had the highest total number of abortions performed on out-of-state residents that year, with around 16,849 procedures.

Legal terminations of pregnancy. The total period abortion rate is the average number of abortions (NHS and private) that would occur per woman in an area, if women experienced the current age-specific abortion rates of that area throughout their childbearing ages.

Abortion statistics measure the number of induced abortions that occur in New Zealand hospitals or licensed abortion clinics.

From 1990 to 1994, there were 79 unintended pregnancies and 40 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age, compared to 64 unintended pregnancies and 40 abortions per 1,000 women from 2015-2019. Although the global unintended abortion rate has decreased from 1990 to 2019, the abortion rate remains more or less the same. This statistic illustrates the unintended pregnancy and abortion rates worldwide from 1990 to 2019.

Demographic variables associated with T. gondii seropositivity in pregnant women with spontaneous abortion (Pearson Chi-Square).

The second of six province-wide surveys of married women in Taiwan was conducted in 1967 to examine changes since 1965 (see KAP I, ICPSR 6862) regarding knowledge of, attitudes toward, and practice of contraception. Data were again collected regarding family relations, fertility, and family planning, along with family demographics. In addition, detailed information was gathered on each pregnancy and on topics such as the total number of live births, fetal deaths, induced abortions, and sterilization. Demographic information such as age, education, employment, and family history who collected for both husband and wife.

In Montbéliarde cattle two candidate mutations on bovine chromosomes 19 and 29 responsible for embryonic lethality have been detected. Montbéliarde bulls have been introduced into Vorderwald cattle to improve milk and fattening performance. Due to the small population size of Vorderwald cattle and the wide use of a few Montbéliarde bulls through artificial insemination, inbreeding on Montbéliarde bulls in later generations was increasing. Therefore, we genotyped an aborted fetus which was inbred on Montbéliarde as well as Vorderwald x Montbéliarde crossbred bulls for both deleterious mutations. The abortion was observed in an experimental herd of Vorderwald cattle. The objectives of the present study were to prove if one or both lethal mutations may be assumed to have caused this abortion and to show whether these deleterious mutations have been introduced into the Vorderwald cattle population through Montbéliarde bulls. The aborted fetus was homozygous for the SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T mutation (ss2019324563) on BTA29 and both parents as well as the paternal and maternal grandsire were heterozygous for this mutation. In addition, the parents and the paternal grandsire were carriers of the MH2-haplotype linked with the T-allele of the SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T mutation. For the SHBG:g.27956790C>T mutation (rs38377500) on BTA19 (MH1), the aborted fetus and its sire were heterozygous. Among all further 341 Vorderwald cattle genotyped we found 27 SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T heterozygous animals resulting in an allele frequency of 0.0396. Among the 120 male Vorderwald cattle, there were 12 heterozygous with an allele frequency of 0.05. The SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T mutation could not be found in further nine cattle breeds nor in Vorderwald cattle with contributions from Ayrshire bulls. In 69 Vorderwald cattle without genes from Montbéliarde bulls the mutated allele of SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T could not be detected. The SHBG:g.27956790C>T mutation appeared unlikely to be responsible for the present case of abortion and, in addition, we observed this mutation in a homozygous state in a living animal. In conclusion, we could demonstrate the first case of an aborted fetus carrying the deleterious SLC37A2:g.28879810C>T mutation homozygous and show that this deleterious mutation had been introduced through Montbéliarde bulls into Vorderwald cattle.

In order to assess the possible effects of lifestyle on fertility and pregnancy outcome, the PALS (Pregnancy and Lifestyle study) collected extensive data on a broad range of parameters termed 'lifestyle' from couples who were planning a natural (non-assisted) pregnancy in the coming months. There was no intervention. Participants were recruited over a six year period from 1988 to 1993 in response to extensive promotion in the local media. Male and female partners were interviewed independently and all interviews were conducted prospectively before the couple attempted to conceive. The result of each month of 'trying' was recorded and pregnancies were confirmed by urine tests and by ultrasound. The length of gestation of each pregnancy was recorded and pregnancies at term were classified with respect to weight. Multiple pregnancies and/or babies with congenital abnormalities have been excluded from the dataset. The data is stored as an xls file and each variable has a codename. For each of 582 couples there are 355 variables, the codes for which are described in a separate metadata file. The questionnaire based data includes information about households, occupation, chemical exposures at work and home, diet, smoking, alcohol use, hobbies, exercise and health. Recorded observations include monthly pregnancy tests and pregnancy outcomes.

In 2022, the rate of abortion among adolescent women aged 19 years in the United States was around 12.4 per 1,000 population. Abortion in the United States remains a controversial and divisive subject. In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the historic court ruling that gave women the right to abortion. Now states are allowed to completely ban the procedure if they so choose. However, despite the ruling and subsequent abortion bans in many states, polls show the majority of U.S. adults still favor the legalization of abortion. How many abortions are there in the U.S. per year? In 2022, there were around 613,000 legal abortions in the United States. This was one of the lowest numbers recorded since the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973. The rate of abortions per 100 live births in 2022 was 19.9, a significant decrease from a rate of 30.6 reported in 1997. The states with the highest rates of abortion in 2022 were New Mexico, Illinois, and Kansas, while Missouri and South Dakota had the lowest rates. Abortion among adolescents The rate of abortion among adolescent women in the United States aged 15 to 19 years has also decreased over the past decade. In 2013, there were around 8.2 abortions among adolescent women per 1,000 population. By the year 2022, this figure had dropped to 5.4 per 1,000 population. The majority of abortions among adolescents occur at week nine or less of gestation. The birth control pill is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but only around 23 percent of female high school students who were sexually active were using the pill in 2021.

Since 2015, the abortion rate in Sweden fell from 20.9, falling below 18 in 2021. In 2022, it increased to 18.5 per thousand women. In 2022, 35,000 abortions were registered in Sweden.

Materials and Methods

Experts in abortion and mental health research were consulted in preparing a questionnaire into the prevalence and effects of abortions that conflict with women’s own maternal preferences and moral beliefs.

Study Population

Invitations to complete a topic blind survey were electronically distributed to Cint.com panelists over a three-day period in July of 2024. Cint panelists are persons who voluntarily complete surveys using their own electronic devices in exchange for small rewards with a value, for this invitation, of under $2 per completed survey. The Cint survey panels include over 28 million U.S. residents. For this survey, a random sample of United States residents Cint pre-identified as females 41 to 45 years of age were invited to complete a survey housed on the LimeSurvey.org platform without any disclosure of the subject matter. The narrow age range, 41-45 years of age, was chosen to (a) eliminate the confounding effects of age, and (b) to maximize the proportion of respondents with a history of abortion since this age group will have completed the majority of their reproductive lives. Investigation of younger women has been deferred until we can test the survey instrument with this limited age group.

The survey exposure rate, response rates, and exclusion rates are shown in Figure 1. Respondents who did not complete all questions were excluded from the analysis, as were any respondents who were out of our gender and age range. Among the 2,361 people who completed the first page of demographic questions, 123 (5.2%) dropped by failing to complete the psychiatric history and another 25 (1.1%) dropped out when presented with questions relating to abortion. Another 22 (1.0%) dropped out when asked their own pregnancy outcomes histories and 166 (7.0%) dropped out, after reporting their pregnancy histories, before completing the survey. The survey was designed to be completed in approximately five to seven minutes by respondents reporting any pregnancies. Of those who completed the survey, 100 (4.6%) were excluded for completing the survey in an unreasonably short period of time, under four minutes. The exclusion of these “speedsters” reflected the likelihood that some respondents, seeking to earn credit for completing the survey as quickly as possible, were randomly responding without reading or considering the questions.

Variables used

The first page of the questionnaire asked about age and gender to qualify respondents. The second page included a list of eleven mental health diagnoses and asked respondents to identify which, if any, they had ever been diagnosed.

Only after this page were respondents asked if they had ever had an “unplanned, mistimed, unwanted, or otherwise difficult pregnancy,” which was defined and thereafter referred to as a “problematic pregnancy.” They were then asked to identify the number of times they had “given birth to a live born child,” “had a miscarriage, still birth or other pregnancy loss” and “had an induced abortion.” From this pregnancy history women were divided by a program algorithm into one of five groups, by order of priority: those who had a history of induced abortions, had experienced natural pregnancy losses, had problematic pregnancies carried to term, or had live births, or had never been pregnant. Results from this grouping is shown in Table 1. Notably, given the algorithm prioritization, women in the abortion group may also have had one or more live births, natural pregnancy losses, and problematic pregnancies ending in a live birth. But women were included in the live birth group only if they had none of the other pregnancy outcomes.

The rest of the variables are described in the repository document "2nd USA Survey Instrument.pdf" and in the limesurvey code, "2nd USA survey limesurvey.lss."

According to a survey conducted in South Korea in 2024, around 71 percent of respondents stated that having an abortion because the fetus was not the gender the parents wanted was not acceptable. Overall, 22 percent supported gender selective abortion at some point during the pregnancy.
