From 2020 to 2023, the state of Colorado saw an 88 percent increase in the number of abortions performed in the state. Since the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, many states, such as Arkansas, Alabama, and Missouri, have completely banned abortion while others have seen decreases in the number of brick-and-mortar clinics that provide such services. However, many other states have seen increases in the number of abortions performed, even when the number of abortion clinics decreased.

In 2020, the District of Columbia had the highest abortion rate among teenage females aged 15-19 years. The abortion rate in the District of Columbia at that time was 24 abortions per 1,000 females aged 15 to 19 years. This statistic depicts the rate of abortion per 1,000 U.S. females aged 15 to 19 in the year 2020, by state.

In 1973, there were around 32 teen abortions for women aged 18 to 19 years per 1,000 women in the United States. This figure had decreased to about 14 by 2020. This statistic illustrates the abortion rates among teens in the United States from 1973 to 2020, by age.

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

The following tables summarize abortion-related services funded by Medi-Cal, by delivery system and demographic characteristics from calendar year (CY) 2014 to the most recent reportable CY. The number of abortion-related services are summarized by health care delivery system and county; health care delivery system and age group; health care delivery system and aid group; and age group and race/ethnicity. Expenditures are also summarized for abortion-related services claims submitted to the fee-for-service (FFS) delivery system. Federal funding is generally not available for abortion-related services; therefore, abortion-related services are financed with state funds only.

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

According to a survey conducted in South Korea in 2020, around *** women per 1,000 population stated that they had an abortion. The abortion rate has been steadily decreasing since 2008.

A survey of women who obtained an abortion in the United States between June 2021 and July 2022 found that ** percent were Hispanic, while ** percent were white. This statistic shows the distribution of women in the U.S. who obtained an abortion from June 2021 to July 2022, by race/ethnicity.

The IPUMS Contextual Determinants of Health (CDOH) data series includes measures of disparities, policies, and counts, by state or county, for historically marginalized populations in the United States including Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latina/o/e/x, and LGBTQ+ persons, and women. The IPUMS CDOH data are made available through ICPSR/DSDR for merging with the National Couples' Health and Time Study (NCHAT), United States, 2020-2021 (ICPSR 38417) by approved restricted data researchers. All other researchers can access the IPUMS CDOH data via the IPUMS CDOH website. Unlike other IPUMS products, the CDOH data are organized into multiple categories related to Race and Ethnicity, Sexual and Gender Minority, Gender, and Politics. The CDOH measures were created from a wide variety of data sources (e.g., IPUMS NHGIS, the Census Bureau, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Movement Advancement Project, and Myers Abortion Facility Database). Measures are currently available for states or counties from approximately 2015 to 2020. The Gender measures in this release include state-level abortion access, which reports the proportion of a state's females aged 15-44 who reside in counties with an abortion provider by year and month from 2009-2022. To work with the IPUMS CDOH data, researchers will need to first merge the NCHAT data to DS1 (MATCH ID and State FIPS Data). This merged file can then be linked to the IPUMS CDOH datafile (DS2) using the STATEFIPS variable.

Introduction: Various non-pharmacological interventions to prevent coronavirus dissemination were implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, including school closures. The effect of these interventions on particular aspects of people’s lives such as sexual and reproductive health outcomes has not been adequately discussed. The objective of the study was to compare the monthly hospital admission rates due to abortion before and during school closure. Methods: We used an interrupted time series (IES) design to estimate the hospital admission rates before and during the school closure (intervention in March 2020) period. The analysis was performed considering all girls from age groups of interest and by stratifying the age groups according to skin color (white and non-white) in which the non-white category comprised both the black and mixed ethnicity together. Coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated using segmented linear regression models. Results: The results showed positive and statistically significant coefficients, suggesting post-intervention trend changes both in the population as a whole (coefficient: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.02; 0.11) and the non-white population group (coefficient: 0.07; 95% CI: 0.03; 0.11), indicating that the monthly hospital admission rates increased over the post-intervention period compared to baseline pre-intervention period. The ITS analysis did not detect statistically significant trend changes (coefficient: 0.02; 95% CI: −0.01; 0.05) in abortion admission rates in the white girl population group. Conclusion: The hospitalizations in Brazil due to abortions in 10- to 14-year-old girls increased during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 compared to 2019, and the number of abortions was higher in the non-white population than the white population. Furthermore, recognizing that the implementation of school closure has affected the minority population differentially can help develop more effective actions to face other future similar situations.

In 2020, the abortion rate among U.S. women aged 20 to 24 was **** per 1,000 women. From 1973 to 2020, the highest rate of abortion among women in this age group was **** in the year 1990. This statistic depicts the rate of abortions per 1,000 U.S. females aged 20 to 24 years from 1973 to 2020.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the care of patients with miscarriage and legal termination of pregnancy in a university hospital in Brazil. Methods A cross-sectional study of women admitted for abortion due to any cause at Hospital da Mulher Prof. Dr. J. A. Pinotti of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil, between July 2017 and September 2021. Dependent variables were abortion-related complications and legal interruption of pregnancy. Independent variables were prepandemic period (until February 2020) and pandemic period (from March 2020). The Cochran-Armitage test, Chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney test, and multiple logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results Five-hundred sixty-one women were included, 376 during the prepandemic period and 185 in the pandemic period. Most patients during pandemic were single, without comorbidities, had unplanned pregnancy, and chose to initiate contraceptive method after hospital discharge. There was no significant tendency toward changes in the number of legal interruptions or complications. Complications were associated to failure of the contraceptive method (odds ratio [OR] 2.44; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.23–4.84), gestational age (OR 1.126; 95% CI 1.039–1.219), and preparation of the uterine cervix with misoprostol (OR 1.99; 95% CI 1.01–3.96). Conclusion There were no significant differences in duration of symptoms, transportation to the hospital, or tendency of reducing the number of legal abortions and increasing complications. The patients’ profile probably reflects the impact of the pandemic on family planning.

In 2022, there were ******* abortions in France. Voluntary terminations of pregnancy were stable in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, there were ****** fewer abortions than the previous year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with a drop very concentrated on conceptions during the confinement period (from March to May 2020).

The abortion rate among U.S. females aged 15 to 19 fell from 44 abortions per 1,000 females in 1988 to 7.5 per 1,000 in the year 2020. This statistic depicts the abortion rate per 1,000 U.S. females aged 15 to 19 years from 1973 to 2020.

In 2024, around 54 percent of adults in the United States stated they considerd themselves pro-choice, meaning they would leave the decision to abort a pregnancy up to the pregnant woman. Pro-life supporters, which made up 41 percent at that time, oppose abortion altogether. Abortion in the United States Abortion and the question whether one is pro-life (and thus against abortion) or pro-choice (i.e. in favor of abortion) is a controversial topic in the United States and the subject of many heated discussions. Before the notorious “Roe vs. Wade” decision of the Supreme Court in 1973, abortion was illegal in most U.S. states and only legal under certain circumstances in others. In short, the case “Roe vs. Wade” was a milestone in granting women freedom over their own body, making abortion legal, as it ruled that a woman’s right to privacy included her unborn child, and set regulations for the availability of abortions. However, in June of 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, making it possible for states to choose to completely ban abortion. As a result, around half of U.S. states were expected to ban the procedure. Pro-life and Pro-choice Ever since this decision, there have been two main mindsets (with many variations) when it comes to abortion. One is the pro-life attitude, which deems abortion murder and considers life starting at conception. The other is the pro-choice movement, which focuses on the well-being of the mother and insists that the woman alone should decide whether she wants to keep a baby or not. Politically, pro-lifers are usually seen as conservative, often belonging to the Republican camp, while pro-choicers are usually regarded as liberals who lean towards the Democrats. Of course, exceptions are not uncommon.

In 2020, before the overturning of Roe v Wade in 2022, there were 173 clinics that provided abortions in California. The number of brick-and-mortar abortion clinics in California increased from 2020 to March 2024. As of March 2024, there were around 180 brick-and-mortar clinics that provided abortions in California. However, many states, such as Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi, completely banned abortion following the overturning of Roe v Wade and no longer have any clinics that provide the procedure.
