Statistics

Note: The information and statistics listed on this page are from the Alan Guttmacher Institute which is a pro-abortion-based organization. While their viewpoint, policy and position papers and reports are obviously skewed in favor of abortion and taxpayer funding of pro-abortion organizations including Planned Parenthood, their statistics on abortion are probably the most accurate because they receive their information directly from abortion providers. We do not endorse or agree with their views or conclusions in any way.
