Data Shows Abortion Rate In New England Is Declining
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — The number of abortions performed annually in New England is declining, according to an Associated Press data analysis, echoing a nationwide trend. But at least two groups attribute the drop to different factors. Rhode Island and Connecticut have seen the most significant decreases since 2010. The number of abortions in Rhode Island between 2010 and 2013 decreased from 4,181 to 3,251, according to data compiled by the AP. That represents a 22.2 percent drop, the highest in the region.

From unwanted pregnancy to safe abortion: Sharing information about abortion in Asia through animation

Abortion attitudes among South Africans: findings from the 2013 social attitudes survey.
Abstract Abortion is legal in South Africa, but over half of abortions remain unsafe there. Evidence suggests women who are (Black) African, of lower socioeconomic status, living with HIV, or residents of Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, or Limpopo provinces are disproportionately vulnerable to morbidity or mortality from unsafe abortion. Negative attitudes toward abortion have been documented in purposively sampled studies, yet it remains unclear what attitudes exist nationally or whether they differ across sociodemographic groups, with implications for inequities in service accessibility and health. In the current study,...

Unmet/met need for contraception and self-reported abortion in Ghana
Conclusion The linkage between unmet need for contraception appears more complex, particularly when the connections are explored post-abortion. Thus, while an abortion episode is most likely due to unintended pregnancy, contraception may still not be used, after an abortion, probably because of failure, side effects or simply, a dislike for any method.

Missouri may lose its last abortion clinic this week. That's dark news for us all | Jill Filipovic
Anti-abortion activists know that you don ’t need to outlaw abortion outright if you can make getting a safe, legal one nearly impossibleBy the end of the week,women in Missouri may live in a state without a single abortion clinic. While restrictive laws in states like Alabama have made headlines, Missouri shows the other side of the anti-abortion strategy: steadily shave away at abortion rights. You don ’t need to outlaw the procedure outright if you can make getting a safe, legal one nearly impossible.The reason there ’s only one remaining clinic in Missouri in the first place is because the state has tried to regu...

In Victory for Abortion Foes, Trump Administration to End Government Scientists ’ Fetal Tissue Research
(WASHINGTON) — The Trump administration said Wednesday it is ending medical research by government scientists using human fetal tissue, a victory for abortion foes that comes despite impassioned pleas from scientists that some health problems can’t be studied any other way. Research using fetal tissue that otherwise would be discarded has been funded by the government, under leadership of both political parties, for decades — and has led to life-saving advances including development of vaccines for rubella and rabies, and drugs for the HIV virus. Officials said government-sponsored research by universitie...

Abortion Clinic Closures Double in Year After End of Roe v. Wade
Twice as many abortion clinics closed this year compared to last, following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. As of November, 42 independent clinics had closed this year, most of which were in the South and Midwest. That’s up from 20 in 2021, according to a Tuesday report from Abortion Care Network, an association of community-based abortion providers. Independent clinics provide 55% of abortion services nationwide. The Supreme Court ruling has resulted in a wave of tighter abortion restrictions, including near-total bans in around a dozen states.
