The study also found that, on average, 90 percent of women worldwide will have an abortion before the age of 45, based on 2003 data. However, many women will have had multiple abortions and many none at all to come to this average.

The key is in the second sentence. Then the way I see it there are so many outliers ("serial aborters") that this 90% figure is virtually useless. I would rather they came up with a figure to answer the questions: "What percentage of women will never have an abortion in their lifetime?", "What percentage of women will have 1 and only 1 abortion in their lifetime?", "2 and only 2" and etc. That would be more useful.

Your questions would make too many feel uncomfortable, though.

Can’t have anyone feeling uncomfortable.

Remember, they are victims, now.

Are they considering “spontaneous abortion”? My mother had what was considered a “spontaneous abortion”, otherwise known as a miscarriage.
