In countries where abortion is broadly legal, there are between 36 and 47 abortions performed annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49. And what about in countries. In where abortions are prohibited altogether, there are between 31 and 51 abortions annually per 1,000 women, on average.
In countries where abortion is broadly legal, use of contraception is quite high. The rate of unintended pregnancies tends to be low (between 53 to 66 unintended pregnancies annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49). But the percentage of those pregnancies ending in abortion is higher because abortions tend to be accessible.
In countries where abortions are heavily restricted, use of contraception tends to be low. The rate of unintended pregnancies is high (between 70 to 91 unintended pregnancies annually per 1,000 women, ages 15 to 49). But the percentage of those pregnancies ending in an abortion is low, likely because abortions aren't easily accessible.
