Induced abortion worldwide.
SEX AND FERTILITY
* An estimated 1.38 billion women in the world are of childbearing age (15-44). During most of their childbearing years, women are sexually active but do not want to have a child.
* Initiation of sexual intercourse--as part of or apart from marriage--by age 20 is common. 77% of women in developed countries have had intercourse by age 20, compared with 83% in Sub-Saharan Africa and 56% in Latin America and the Caribbean.
* In many countries, couples have more children than they desire--or have a child at a time that they do not want one. For example, in Kenya, the average woman has 6 children, and the desired family size is 4; Bangladeshi women desire 3 children but have, on average, 4.
UNPLANNED PREGNANCIES
* Worldwide, more than a quarter of women who become pregnant have either an abortion or an unwanted birth.
* In developed countries (where average desired family size is small), of the 28 million pregnancies occurring every year, an estimated 49% are unplanned, and 36% end in abortion.
