New CDC Report Shows Abortion and Pregnancy Rates Dropping to Historic Lows

A new report released yesterday from the Centers for Disease Control shows the number of abortions, the abortion rate and the pregnancy rate all declining from the period 1990-2005. The new CDC National Vital Statistics Report shows there were an estimated 6,408,000 pregnancies in the U.S. in 2005. That number includes 4.14 million live births, 1.21 million induced abortions, and 1.06 million miscarriages or other fetal losses that are not from abortion. The good news from the CDC is that the abortion rate fell more than one-third during the years studied. LifeNews
