CDC: 18% of all pregnancies end in abortion; 730,322 is a new 'low'

Washington Examiner:

Exactly 18 percent of all pregnancies ended in abortion, for a total of 730,322, with most to unmarried women, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

 

But that is good news, the agency added, because it was an "historic low."

 

The latest figures are from 2011 and show a downward overall trend in abortions since 2002, especially among younger women. But the numbers are up among women 25 and older, with a big jump among women over 40, said CDC.

 

What’s more, 10 women died as a result of having "legal induced abortions," said the CDC.

 

The report is titled "Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2011," and was released Friday.
