Abortion Percentage (2012): 5%

In 2012, 5% of pregnancies in Mississippi ended in abortion. This number does not take into account miscarriages. It was arrived at by dividing the state abortion ratio by the sum of the abortion ratio plus 1,000. The abortion ratio is the number of abortions that occurred per 1,000 lives births. The table below compares Mississippi abortion percentages by year.
