While any woman could find herself experiencing an unplanned pregnancy, statistically, there are some characteristics that are more common than others. It should surprise no one that those obtaining most abortions are women who are unmarried and in their 20s. But some of the other factors are less expected.
This data comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as the Guttmacher Institute, which was once Planned Parenthood’s former “special affiliate” and research arm.
According to the two groups:
* Most abortion clients are women in their 20s (60%* – 56.9%^)
* Most abortion clients have had a previous live birth (59%*-60%^)
* Most abortion clients are unmarried (45.9%*– 85.5%^)
* Black women account for most abortions committed later in pregnancy — 40% (120,121) of abortions between
*0-13 weeks of pregnancy and 42% (10,100) at 14 weeks or later.^
* Most abortion clients had a low income (75%*)
* Most abortion clients had at least a high school education (91%*)
* Most abortion clients paid for their abortions out-of-pocket (53%*)
Black women had the highest abortion percentage (38.4%), rate (23.8 abortions per 1,000 women), and ratio (386 abortions per 1,000 live births), according to the CDC.
Abortion is tethered to eugenics, and the CDC’s 2019 data confirms that communities of color, which have a disproportionate number of abortions, are still being targeted for eugenic abortions.

Most abortion clients have had no prior abortions
According to CDC 2019 data, 58.2% of abortion clients had no prior abortions. The other totals reveal:
* One previous abortion – 125,716 (23.8%)
* Two previous abortions- 55,669 (10.5%)
* Three or more previous abortions- 39,792 (7.5%)
Most had some religious affiliation (62%*)
In 2014, Guttmacher found that 38% women getting abortions reported no religious affiliation while the majority had some form of religious affiliation — 24% were Roman Catholic, 17% were mainline Protestant, 13% were evangelical Protestant, and 8% were another affiliation. A closer review of data reveals a decline in abortions among all religious groups from what was reported in 2008.
“The proportion of women who identified as mainline Protestant declined by 24% since 2008, whereas the proportion with no affiliation increased by 38%. The proportion identifying as Catholic decreased by 15% from the earlier survey, though this change was only marginally significant,” Guttmacher wrote.
Overall, there is some good news in that for the past several years, the abortion rate among all women 15-44 has been in decline. But the bad news is that CDC 2019 data indicates the abortion rate may be ticking upward, due in part to easy abortion pill access.

“Most abortion clients are women”
Dang right I’m surprised. I thought for sure it was men.
Margaret Sanger’s dream coming true…
Who are you going to believe? Official deep state doctrine or your own lying eyes?
This is no surprise at all. The core of women seeking abortions is composed of women attempting to entrap husbands. When the scheme fails they get abortions, and move on to other men.
Repeal of Roe v Wade raises the stakes.
For me, the most telling stat was that while abortion remains something undertaken chiefly by women in their 20s, it's become more prevalent in older women and less prevalent in younger women.
This is probably why most of the protesters look like they're AARP candidates, and the ones who look younger probably answered an ad and got a free boxed lunch and loose joints to rant.
the only thing that surprised me was this:
quote “Most abortion clients have had a previous live birth (59%*-60%^)”
I always have assumed it was young single women who have never been pregnant much less already had a child who have abortions.
Men.
I always thought a large chunk was from women who were cheating on their husbands
Anyone with a birdfeeder recognizes the problem - damn squirrels!
* Most abortion clients have had a previous live birth (59%*-60%^)
That one actually surprises me. The rest not so much.
Generations of traumatized women. Yet another reason I gave up my old ways, remain unmarried, and remain celibate.
Gotta get rid of those pesky “undesirables,” dontcha know.

So the pro-aborts are not afraid of this information.
What strikes me most in all the data presented by our CDC in excruciating detail I might add is that how come CDC can pull all this out and yet our Social Security Administration can’t track/keep/address MULTIPLE uses of the same SSAN?
The Truth? THEY CAN! They don’t advertise, correct, or take action because they want any extra FICA money that comes in. They KNOW - they’ve known for 50 years who all the multiple number users are. The only tracking they do is to make sure the REAL owner doesn’t get credit for any income logged against the number so he/she doesn’t get a higher payout.
some Freeper is weeping at that statement right about now.
Hmm another way to group the numbers is that about 40% of the women have had one or more previous abortions—that’s nearly half! Clearly then abortion is being used as birth control, not a last-ditch effort to prevent a pregnancy.
Not sure how larger % black women having abortions = blacks being targeted???? They chose to have sex, they chose an abortion- what am I missing here?
If the Justice System and Police are racist, because the percentage of arrests and incarcerations of people of color are higher than their general percentage of the population.....Why are abortions not also racist?
That is a question that Democrats and Liberals don’t want to touch.
Perhaps it is time to call anyone a racist, who opposes the Supreme Court review that could support state abortion laws.
