This statistic shows estimated abortion rates worldwide from 1990 to 1994 and 2015 to 2019, by region. From 2015 to 2019, there were an estimated 39 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-49 years worldwide.

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.

Abortions in the Soviet Union became much more accessible under the Khrushchev administration in 1953, and the USSR's abortion rate subsequently developed into the highest in the world. The Soviet government did not begin releasing official statistical data until the 1970s, however it is believed that around six or seven million abortions were carried out each year in the 1950s and 1960s; a figure that remained fairly consistent until the late 1980s**. This high rate was, in-part, due to rapid urbanization and a desire for smaller families, as well as the lack of quality contraceptives produced by the Soviet government, and the widespread belief that abortion was safer than the side-effects of hormonal regulation via the pill. Relative to population size, there were between 97 and 106 abortions carried out per 1,000 women aged between 15 and 49 in the given years, which is roughly equal to one in ten women of childbearing age having an abortion each year (estimates for Russia alone suggest that this number was one in six in the 1960s). There were however regional disparities across the Soviet Union, as abortions were much more accessible and common in the European part of the country, and less available or socially acceptable in the Muslim-majority and rural regions of Asia. Abortion in the U.S. In the U.S. during this time, the abortion rate was much lower due to previous legal restrictions and lack of access, societal attitudes, and better access to contraceptives. Prior to 1973, abortions were either banned outright or only available under specific circumstances in all-but-four states. The Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade then saw the removal of most federal restrictions relating to abortion in the first trimester of pregnancy. This granted women across the country greater access to legal abortions; in 1975 there were over one million legal abortions performed in the U.S., and between 1.5 and 1.6 million in the 1980s. Proportional to population size, this equated to 29 abortions per 1,000 women aged between 15 and 45 in 1980, which is roughly equal to one in 34 women of childbearing age having an abortion in this year. Legacy During the decline and dissolution of the Soviet Union, the government began to promote the use of contraceptives, however the poor quality and supply of these reinforced former perceptions that they were more harmful than abortions. Additionally, medical institutions received much higher sums from the government when abortions were performed (relative to income from contraceptives), and these incentives delayed the drop in Russian and other post-Soviet states' abortion rates. While it is now generally accepted that contraception is safer than abortion, and awareness of the risks of infertility and maternal death has become more widespread, today, Soviet successor states have some of the highest abortion rates in the world by a considerable margin.

In the U.S., following the peak of almost 30 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 in the 1980s, the abortion rate has gradually fallen with each decade, even dropping below the 1973 level in 2017. Although this is a side effect of improvements in contraception and education, a large part of this decline can be attributed to restricted access to abortion, particularly in rural and southern regions. While the majority of U.S. adults support Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court overturned the ruling in June 2022, granting states the right to determine their own abortion laws.

Introduction

Abortion Statistics: Abortion remains one of the most contentious and deeply personal issues in global reproductive health. It involves the termination of a pregnancy, a decision often influenced by a myriad of medical, socioeconomic, and personal factors. Historically, the legal status and accessibility of abortion have varied significantly across different regions and cultures, reflecting diverse ethical, religious, and political beliefs.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has claimed that when performed under appropriate medical conditions, abortion is a very safe procedure with low complication rates. This article will guide you effectively as it includes all current trends and aspects from different perspectives in recent years.

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.

In 2022, there were roughly 15.7 abortions per 1,000 women in France. The abortion rate in France remained pretty stable since the nineties, while the estimated abortion rate in Europe decreased significantly. Abortion in France France legalized abortion in 1975. If at that time the fight for legalization was intense, it appears that now the support for abortion right in France is widespread. In 2017, more than 80 percent of French people declared that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. France has a low rate of teenage pregnancy, but the abortion rate is not the same throughout the country. Overseas regions of France such as Guadeloupe or Mayotte have a higher abortion rate number of young women aged from 15 to 17 years, while in the rest of the country the majority of abortions concerned women aged between 20 and 29 years. The evolution of contraception in France Like in other European countries, French women seem to be more and more concerned about the consequences that may be related to their contraception method. In 2017, 32 percent of women in France stated that they were rather worried about the cardiovascular risks of hormonal contraception like the pill. Consequently, the share of French women using contraceptive oral pills is decreasing and other methods like IUD or implant are becoming more common.

More than 467,000 abortions were performed in Russia in 2023. Starting from over 2.1 million abortions recorded in the country in 2000, the number of terminated pregnancies has continuously decreased over time. The figures include induced abortions as well as miscarriages. The abortion rate in Russia stood at 303 procedures per 1,000 live births in 2022. How is abortion regulated in Russia? Abortions are legal in Russia up to the 12th week of pregnancy and up to the 22nd week in cases of rape. They are conducted in state as well as private medical facilities. In 2022, approximately one-fifth of all pregnancy terminations in the country were conducted in commercial clinics. However, over the past decade, the laws regarding abortion have been tightened, allowing for fewer reasons for pregnancy termination. Moreover, there are proposals to ban abortions in private clinics. In a ranking of European policies by progressiveness and openness to abortion, Russia listed below most Western European countries. Contraception use in Russia Russia was one of the lowest-ranking countries in Europe by access to modern contraception. Approximately 11 percent of Russian women aged 15 to 49 years used hormonal contraceptives, while seven percent used an intrauterine device (IUD). In 2023, the country’s health ministry increased control over the sale and storage of mifepristone and misoprostol, medicines for pregnancy termination.

In 2022, there were around *** abortions carried out per 1,000 live births in Georgia, which was the highest rate of abortions in Europe in that year. Sweden and Bulgaria had *** and *** abortions per 1,000 live births, respectively. In Poland, where until very recently abortion was banned apart for some exceptional circumstances, only *** abortions per 1,000 births were conducted in 2022. Births in Europe Bulgaria had the youngest mean age of woman at childbirth in the EU in 2022 at 27.8 years. Romania and Moldova both had mean age for childbirths at just over 28 years of age. On the other hand, the average age at childbirth in Ireland, Spain, and Luxembourg was over 32 years of age. In every EU country, the fertility rate for a woman is under *** children, with some of the lowest rates found in Italy and Spain at ***. Contraception use In 2022, Norway had the highest share of women aged 15 to 49 years using any sort of contraception in Europe, with ** percent using. Czechia and Finland both had high levels of contraception use among women at **** and ** percent respectively. Just over a quarter of women use any form of contraception in Montenegro, the lowest share in Europe.

BackgroundComprehensive and contemporary estimates of the number of pregnancies at risk of malaria are not currently available, particularly for endemic areas outside of Africa. We derived global estimates of the number of women who became pregnant in 2007 in areas with Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax transmission.Methods and FindingsA recently published map of the global limits of P. falciparum transmission and an updated map of the limits of P. vivax transmission were combined with gridded population data and growth rates to estimate total populations at risk of malaria in 2007. Country-specific demographic data from the United Nations on age, sex, and total fertility rates were used to estimate the number of women of child-bearing age and the annual rate of live births. Subregional estimates of the number of induced abortions and country-specific stillbirths rates were obtained from recently published reviews. The number of miscarriages was estimated from the number of live births and corrected for induced abortion rates. The number of clinically recognised pregnancies at risk was then calculated as the sum of the number of live births, induced abortions, spontaneous miscarriages, and stillbirths among the population at risk in 2007. In 2007, 125.2 million pregnancies occurred in areas with P. falciparum and/or P. vivax transmission resulting in 82.6 million live births. This included 77.4, 30.3, 13.1, and 4.3 million pregnancies in the countries falling under the World Health Organization (WHO) regional offices for South-East-Asia (SEARO) and the Western-Pacific (WPRO) combined, Africa (AFRO), Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean (EURO/EMRO), and the Americas (AMRO), respectively. Of 85.3 million pregnancies in areas with P. falciparum transmission, 54.7 million occurred in areas with stable transmission and 30.6 million in areas with unstable transmission (clinical incidence

Percentage distribution of abortions by wealth, by region and country.

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.
