CDC: Close to Half of All Abortions Repeats.(Centers for Disease Control statistics)(Brief Article)(Statistical Data Included)
According to the latest report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), nearly half of the women who had an abortion in 1997 had had at least one previous abortion. Nearly one in five of those women had undergone at least two abortions.
In its December 8, 2000, report of state and national abortion statistics for the year 1997,1 the CDC found that 45.5% of women having abortions reported having one, two, three, or more previous abortions. Only a little bit more than half (52%) were reported as never having had a previous abortion.
The status of the remaining 2.5% was listed as "unknown." As far as can be determined from available data, this is believed to be the highest number of repeat abortions the CDC has ever recorded.
Over a quarter of the women (26.8%) reported having one previous abortion. About one in nine (11.2%) reported two, while 7.4% reported having three or more previous abortions.
Not every state reported data on previous abortions to the CDC. While incomplete, the data, drawn from 37 state health departments and New York City, gives valuable insight into the state of abortion in America and trends among abortion clinic customers.
Hawaii (61.5%), Maryland (70.5%), New Jersey (53%), and New York (56.5%) reported the highest numbers of abortion repeaters. The city of New York, whose data was also listed separately, had a 63.7% repeat rate. It also had the highest percentage of any reporting areas indicating three or more previous abortions (17.1%).
While in the early days of Roe, few women reported having previous abortions (according to the National Center for Health Statistics, 13.2% in 1974, and 18.1% in 1975), that number grew steadily through the 1970s and 80s until it leveled off in the 42-45% range in the 1990s.
