In Canada in 1970, out of 100 live births, there were only 3 abortions, with a total of 11,152 abortions for the year. By 1988, there were 70,754 abortions, with 19.3 abortions of every 100 live births. In 2001 there were 106,418 abortions. Out of 100 live births, 31.9 were aborted. Times have changed. Some girls are now using repetitive abortions as a type of birth control.
1. Worldwide there are approximately 42 million abortions per year, and 115,000 per day.
2. In the United States alone there were 1,370,000 abortions in 1996. Currently there are 3,700 abortions a day in the US.
3. Teenagers have 20% of all abortions; girls under 15 obtain 1.2% of all abortions. That is 504,000 abortions per year (worldwide) by females under 15.
4. 1% of abortions are because of rape or incest. 93% of abortions are because of personal reasons.
5. 47 % of all abortions are executed on women who have had at least one abortion previously.
6. In England and Wales 74 teens had their third abortion in 2008. 15 other teens under 18 had previously had between 3 and 6 abortions.
7. 1,500 of 19,000 girls under 18 who had an abortion in 2008 had also had at least one earlier abortion. In at least one case a teen was having her 8th abortion.
Some girls are not using contraception services and instead are relying on abortions, which can be dangerous, as repeated abortions may result in severe negative results. Having several abortions may cause cervical stenosis, which increases the chances of endometriosis or infertility. It may also cause scarring in the uterus (Asherman’s syndrome) which may result in infertility and miscarriage. This doesn’t necessarily mean abortion is a extremely hazardous procedure, but it is not recommended to have several abortions.
