Share Facts on Induced Abortion in the United States
May 2011
INCIDENCE OF ABORTION
• Nearly half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion.[1] Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion.[2]

• Forty percent of pregnancies among white women, 69% among blacks and 54% among Hispanics are unintended.[1] In 2008, 1.21 million abortions were performed, down from 1.31 million in 2000. However, between 2005 and 2008, the long-term decline in abortions stalled. From 1973 through 2008, nearly 50 million legal abortions occurred.[2]

• Each year, two percent of women aged 15-44 have an abortion;[2] half have had at least one previous abortion.[6]

At least half of American women will experience an unintended pregnancy by age 45[4], and, at current rates, nearly one-third will have had an abortion.[5]


it goes on from there...

that is a shitload of irresponsible women. its shameful.

I cannot possibly understand how so many people have an unwanted pregnancy. there are tons of ways to prevent it.

get on the pill, take it at the same time every day, and use a condom... and in only the rarest of rare circumstances will someone become pregnant. certainly not half of all cases. maybe less than 1% of all cases.

if you cant do the above and dont want to get pregnant than dont have sex. or live up to your responsibility.

abortion is plain disgusting (obviously cases that occur from a crime or when its a health risk are different). but unfortunatly it is neccesary because we are filled with a population who are irresponsible. men and women. all they think about is now now now.

no doubt one segment of unintended pregnancy was birth control failure. i met a lady a few years back who was in her third trimester. she'd had her tubes tied a few years before-you'd think that would be fool proof-but it's not. i had to sign a paper back when i had mine done acknowledging there was a slight chance of pregnancy.
then there are guys who have had vasectomies-that's not 100% either. neither is the pill, condoms, etc.

"the condom broke" is not a good excuse for me. If that happens.. go take the morning after pill. If you dont do that and end up pregnant, your fault. if you take the pill every day at the same time, you have like a less than 1% chance of getting pregnant. Just being on the pill and skipping doses is not birth control, its being irresponsible.

my 22 year old friend just got knocked up with her 3rd child. she says "I was on the pill" blah blah blah. then she admitted she would forget doses and not take it at the same time. thats not birth control failure. thats personal failure.

now if you have tubes tied or a vasectomy and you still get pregnant.. well that is the definition of birth control failure. but I would guess that might happen for 1 out of every 5,000 unintended pregnancies.

i would take the morning after pill-which is something that many equate with abortion. but then, they also say the pill is murder...
at any rate, too many people must feel they're bulletproof. but i tend to give people benefit of the doubt-if it's unintended, i would have to think something was done to prevent it...other than the withdrawal method that is!!

and condom failure doesn't necessarily mean that it was obvious the sucker broke.

the morning after pill equating murder is really just a Catholic problem. they just need to deal.

I certainly dont give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to getting pregnant when you dont want to. thats one of the biggest responsibilities on the planet, to be a parent.

you'd be surprised about how many young people use no methods. Girls dont want to pay for the pill. the guy doesnt want rubber in the way. "oh.. we'll pull out!!" dumb motherfucl<ers.

condoms shouldnt be the only relied upon method in the first place. it should be a backup plan and an STD reduction plan. "it broke" excuse is a load of crap.
