Where abortions occur:
83% of all abortions are obtained in developing countries and 17% occur in developed countries.
In 2005, 1.21 million abortions were performed in the US, down from 1.31 million abortions in 2000.
The
rate of abortion in the United States is at its lowest level since
1974, having declined 33% from a peak of 29 abortions per 1,000 women
aged 15–44 in 1980 to 20 per 1,000 in 2004. However, this overall trend
masks large disparities in rates of unintended pregnancy and abortion
across demographic subgroups, according to Trends in the
Characteristics of Women Obtaining Abortions, 1974 to 2004.
