Facts surrounding abortion

In order to gather some solid facts about how may abortions take place each year, I decided to conduct some research. I felt that it was important to do this as I personally believe without abortion the world would soon become vastly over populated. Some figures are depicted below.

  • Twenty-one percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion

  • The data on abortions displayed on the Worldometers' counter is based on the latest statistics on worldwide abortions published by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO, every year in the world there are an estimated 40-50 million abortions. This corresponds to approximately 125,000 abortions per day.

  • Laws against abortion do not stop abortion; they simply make it less safe. The number of women who get abortions does not change when it goes from being legal to illegal, or vice versa. The only thing that changes is more women die. Every year, 78,000 women die from unsafe abortions.
