Tuesday, April 29, 2014 11:41
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Here are the primary reasons for abortion in America:
- 25% “not ready for a(nother) child/timing is wrong”
- 23% “can’t afford a baby now”
- 19% “have completed my childbearing/have other people depending on me/children are grown”
- 8% “don’t want to be a single mother/am having relationship problems”
- 7% “don’t feel mature enough to raise a(nother) child/feel too young”
- 6% “other” (this category had no further explanation)
- 4% “would interfere with education or career plans”
- 4% “physical problem with my health”
- 3% “possible problems affecting the health of the fetus”
- -0.5% “husband or partner wants me to have an abortion”

Statistics
From the Alan Guttmacher Institute:
- 1.1 million U.S. abortions each year.
- Nearly 1 in 4 (22%) of pregnancies end in abortion
- 50% of women now seeking abortion have had at least one previous abortion.
- The U.S. abortion rate is among the highest of developed countries.
- 51% of abortions are performed on women less than 25 years of age.
- Approximately 1/3 of American women have had an abortion by age 45.
- Abortion disproportionately affects black and Hispanic women.
When will America learn?
Wondering where you got your stats from. It’s a good thing that it’s no one elses business why someone else got an abortion. For some no reason is good enough. I guess it’s based on religious opinion about a fetus being thought of as a baby.
