Resolution is a medical term. There are 4 things that could be the end result of a pregnancy (resolution):

live birth
stillbirth
miscarriage
abortion

Abortion has never been higher than 25% of pregnancies (in the mid 1980's it reached it's highest point then dropped off) in the USA. Currently abortions are the estimated resolution of 21% of pregnancies in the USA. Miscarriages are in the range of 10-14% of (known) pregnancies. Stillbirths are in the range of 2-4% of pregnancies. The remainder are live births.
