This report sets out and comments on abortion statistics in England and Wales for 2019.
The statistics are obtained from the abortion notification forms returned to the chief medical officers of England and Wales.
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.
This statistic shows the rate of abortion among women worldwide from 2015 to 2019, by legal status of the abortion. According to the data, during that time there were ** abortions performed per 1,000 women in regions where abortion was prohibited altogether.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE Explore the use of two abortion care models in Argentina over the period 2016–2019: pro-rights private medical service providers and abortion accompaniment (via self-management and via health institutions); and compare the profile of who accesses these models and when. METHODS We used data from accompaniment collectives in the Socorristas en Red and private service providers. We estimated annual abortion rates via these service models and compared the profile of the populations by type of service and gestational age (2019) using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. RESULTS In 2016, 37 people per 100,000 women of reproductive age obtained accompanied self-managed abortions, and the number increased to 111 per 100,000 in 2019, a threefold increase. The rate of abortions via care providers was 18 per 100,000 in 2016 and 33 in 2019. Higher proportions of those who obtained abortion via care providers were 30 years or older. A higher proportion of those accompanied were 19 years or younger; 11% of those who obtained accompanied self-managed abortions were more than 12 weeks gestation compared with 7% among those who had accompanied abortions via health institutions and 0.2% among those who had abortions with private providers. A higher proportion of those who accessed accompanied abortions after 12 weeks gestation had lower educational levels, did not work or have social security coverage, had more past pregnancies, and attempted to terminate their pregnancies prior to contacting the Socorristas compared to those who had accompanied abortions at 12 weeks or earlier. CONCLUSIONS In Argentina, prior to Law 27.610 models of care guaranteed access to safe abortion. It is important to continue making visible and legitimizing these models of care so that all those who decide to have an abortion, whether inside or outside health institutions, have safe and positive experiences.

The rate of legal abortions in the United States has decreased over the last few decades. In 2022, there were around 19.9 legal abortions per 100 live births, whereas the rate was 34 abortions per 100 live births in the year 1990. Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court in 2022, states within the U.S. have the right to severely limit or completely ban abortion if they wish, meaning that access to such procedures varies significantly depending on the state or region.
Abortion in the U.S.
In 2022, there were over 613,000 legal abortions in the United States. Abortion rates in the U.S. are highest among women aged 25 to 29 years and more common among unmarried women than those who are married. In 2022, there were approximately 38 legal abortions per 100 live births among unmarried women compared to four abortions per 100 live births among women who were married.
Public opinion
The issue of abortion has been and remains a divisive topic among the general public and continues to be a relevant political issue. As of May 2023, around 44 percent of the population was estimated to be pro-life, while 52 percent were pro-choice and three percent mixed or neither. However, this distribution has fluctuated over the years, with pro-lifers accounting for a larger percentage than pro-choicers as recently as 2019.
This statistic represents the ratio of abortion in France from 2006 to 2019 (per hundred live births). In 2019, there were approximately 30 abortions per 100 live births in France.
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.

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.
This statistic presents the number of estimated abortions among adolescent women aged 15 to 19 years in low- and middle-income countries worldwide in 2019, in thousands. In that year there were almost 2.5 million abortions among adolescent women in the low- and middle-income countries of Asia.
Background: Unsafe abortion remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in many African countries, including Kenya. In Kenya, abortion is legally restricted except when the life or health of a pregnant woman is in danger and in cases of rape or incest. The restrictions around abortion, pervasive stigma and negative attitudes of healthcare providers often increase the risks of unsafe abortion. Ten years ago, a study by the Ministry of Health, the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), and the Guttmacher Institute reported close to 464,690 induced abortions in 2012. Given the time that has passed since that study, and changes in the landscape of abortion in Kenya (e.g., the availability of medication abortion drugs, enactment of the 2017 Health Act that defined "trained providers" to include nurses and midwives, and the 2019 High Court ruling that reinstated the withdrawn Standards and guidelines for reduction of maternal mortality from unsafe abortion), policymakers and advocates in Kenya have raised the need for another national abortion incidence study. Objectives: To determine the incidence of induced abortions and the severity of abortion-related complications in Kenya. Methods: The proposed study will employ a quantitative cross-sectional design. The study will have four separate surveys: i) a nationally representative Health Facility Survey (HFS) to estimate the number of women who receive post-abortion care (PAC) following abortion complications, ii) a Knowledgeable Informants Survey (KIS) to collect information on the proportion of all women having abortions who receive facility-based treatment for abortion-related complications, iii) a Respondent-Driven Sampling survey (RDS) of women who have had an abortion to understand abortion incidence and safety, and iv) a Prospective Morbidity Survey (PMS) to provide the data necessary to describe characteristics of women receiving treatment for abortion complications, the severity of complications, the type of treatment received, and the delays in access to PAC. The PMS will also include a limited component involving clinical data abstraction from the medical charts/records of PAC clients. Utility of study: Evidence generated will contribute to a greater understanding of the incidence of induced abortions and the magnitude and severity of abortion-related complications. The evidence will support investment and decision-making toward addressing the contributors of unsafe abortions and unintended pregnancies, improving access to quality PAC services, and ultimately improving adolescent and maternal health in Kenya.
National coverage
knowledgeable healthcare providers
Senior health provider, who is knowledgeable about the provision of PAC
The study population for the HFS is facilities that should theoretically offer PAC services based on the structure and functional operation of health facilities in Kenya. Health facility levels designated for PAC, according to the Kenya Essential Package of Health (KEPH), range from levels II to VI. These are also the facilities capable of offering normal delivery services to women. As of July 25, 2022, there were 13,931 operational and functional health facilities across Kenya from levels II to VI (capable of providing). Overall, there are six Level VI facilities and 47 Level 5 and county referral hospitals (these include 23 level V and 24 county referral hospitals) (We will include all Level V and VI facilities in the sample), 891 Level IV, 2225 Level III), and 10786 Level II (we will draw a proportionate sample of facilities within Levels II, III and IV). Altogether, we aim for a sample of 750 health facilities for the HFS component. We will divide Kenya into five regions for sampling purposes, following a previously used approach [50][51]. The emerging regions are 1) Coast and North Eastern, 2) Eastern, 3) Nairobi and Central, 4) Nyanza and Western, and 5) Rift Valley. Within selected facilities, respondents will be those most qualified to answer questions about PAC caseloads and the types of cases seen at the facility. Depending on the facility, these might be senior administrators, heads of the OBGYN ward, or heads of private clinics, including medical doctors, nurses, and midwives.
The initial sample was 766 facilities for the survey. There were several deviations from the sample,these included facilities that were not sampled but data was collected from them and others were sampled but data was not collected. we also had other facilities that were nonresponce due to the following reasons:facility closed down, facility does not exist, facility is non operational, facility does not offer post abortion care, insecurities reason and facility does not offer sexual reproductive health services.After all the adjustment the remaning sample that was used was 694
Face-to-face [f2f]
The questionnaire was written in english with a primary purpose of the HFS is to estimate the number of women who receive treatment in facilities for abortion-related complications. The HFS will be a statistically representative survey of all health facilities in Kenya classified as having the capacity to provide PAC services. In each selected health facility, a senior health provider, who is knowledgeable about the provision of PAC, is interviewed. Participants are asked whether their facility provides treatment for complications following induced or spontaneous abortions. If the facility provides treatment, they are asked the number of abortion patients (induced and spontaneous abortions (miscarriages), combined) treated in an average month and in the past month. Specifying these two periods aims to increase the likelihood of accurate recall and accounting for month-to-month variation, as there is seasonality to abortions. To produce an estimate for the year, these two numbers are averaged and multiplied by 12.
The software used was survey CTO for data collection which the datasets were directly downloaded from the surver itself to STATA and R Software
The response rate was calculated in all the 5 regions against facility characteristics which included the facility ownership and facility level. The distribution was as follows: For Nairobi and Central we had 91.11, 81.82,80.00 for public, private for profit and private not for profit on the ownership side, for the Level of facility they had 84.62,91.30, 83.13, 83.33 and 66.67 for level 2,3,4,5 and 6 respectively. For Coast & North Eastern we had 100, 97.30 and 100 for public, private for profit and private not for profit on the ownership side, for the Level of facility they had 100,100, 97.78,100 for level 2,3,4 and 5 respectively. For Eastern we had 95.16, 94.74, 93.33 for public, private for profit and private not for profit on the ownership side, for the Level of facility they had 92.59, 100, 93.10,100 for level 2,3,4 and 5 respectively. For Nyanza & Western we had 100, 96.08,100 for public, private for profit and private not for profit on the ownership side, for the Level of facility they had 96, 100, 99.07, 100 for level 2,3,4 and 5 respectively. For Rift Valley we had 97.94, 95.83, 89.47 for public, private for profit and private not for profit on the ownership side, for the Level of facility they had 97.44, 93.55, 97.44, 93.33, 100 for level 2,3,4,5 and 6 respectively. The entries are pecentages.

From 2015 to 2019, there were 58 unintended pregnancies and 40 abortions per 1,000 women of reproductive age in countries where abortion is broadly legal, compared to 80 unintended pregnancies and 40 abortions per 1,000 women in countries where abortion is prohibited altogether. The abortion rate for both groups is identical despite the wide difference in restriction levels. This statistic illustrates the unintended pregnancy and abortion rates worldwide from 2015 to 2019, by abortion legality.
In France, as of 2023, abortion is fully covered by one's Health insurance, as part of a flat rate with total exemption from advance payment that avoids disclosing any information in reimbursement documents. The cost of a city medical abortion (doctor's office, health center, or family planning and education center) is entirely reimbursed by the Health Insurance, with rates fixed by a decree (implemented in 2019) at each stage. For instance, the maximum fee for medication was ***** euros, while subsequent biological controls were fixed at ***** euros.
There are ***** stages of abortion services, consent collection, abortion, and control consultations. Prior to the decree implemented on the December 18, 2019, certain acts were not fully covered by the health insurance.
In Italy, a considerable share of voluntary interruptions of pregnancy (VIPs) are performed on non-Italian women. This statistic illustrates the share of VIPs undergone by women from countries with high migratory pressure living in Italy in selected years from 2003 to 2019. According to the study results, about one in five abortions (**** percent) was undergone by migrant women in 2003. This percentage had increased to ** percent by 2009 and continued to increase thereafter, peaking at **** percent in 2014. In the following years this share fluctuated, reaching **** percent in 2019.
