PREGNANCY INTENTIONS AND OUTCOMES

* The United States has among the highest rates of unintended pregnancy and teenage pregnancy found in Western nations, and its legal abortion rate is similar to that of many countries in Latin American, where abortion is illegal and contraceptives are not always widely available.

* In the United States, 9 in 10 women who are sexually active, fertile (that is, able to become pregnant) and do not wish to become pregnant report that they use a contraceptive method.

* Yet half of the 6 million pregnancies (the total number of births, abortions and miscarriages) in the United States annually are accidental--unplanned and often unwanted. Among teenagers, 8 in 10 pregnancies are unintended.

* There are 59.4 million women of childbearing age (15-44) residing in the United States, 4.3 million of whom live in Texas.

* Each year in the United States, 103 pregnancies occur per 1,000 women aged 15-44, 63% of which result in live births and 22% in abortions; the remainder end in miscarriage.

* Each year in Texas, 112 pregnancies occur per 1,000 women aged 15-44, 67% of which result in live births and 18% in abortions.
