“The number and rate of U.S. abortions increased from 2017 to 2020 after a long decline,“ the AP reports.
“The report from the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights, counted more than 930,000 abortions in the U.S. in 2020. That’s up from about 862,000 abortions in 2017, when national abortion figures reached their lowest point since the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that legalized the procedure nationwide.”
“About one in five pregnancies ended in abortion in 2020, according to the report.”
