ICT Work on Abortion Statistics
The following statistics will be summarised and compared at the
conclusion.
Summarisation:
2002:
In 2002, the total number of abortions was 175,900 (In England and
Wales). Number of the age-standardisation was 17 years of age out of
the 1000 resident woman from ages 15-44. 78% of the abortions were
funded by the NHS (National Health Service) and 87% of the abortions
were carried out at under 13 weeks gestation, and 57% were at under 10
weeks. 1,900 abortions (1%) were under ground E, risk that the child
would be born handicapped. The under-16 abortion rate was 3.7.
2003:
In 2003, there were more abortions than in 2002, the total number of
abortions were 181,600 (A rise of 3.2%), the age standardization of
the abortions were still 17.5 out of the 1000 residential woman. Also
the under-16 abortion rate was 3.9 compared wih 3.7 in 2002. And 80%
of the abortions where funded by the NHS. 87% of abortions were
carried out under 13 weeks gestation and 58% were under 10 weeks. And
under 1% (1,950) were under ground E risk (Handicapp).
2004:
In 2004, there were far more abortions than in 2003, a total of
185,400 in England and wales (All residential) a rise of 2.1% this
year has the higest abortion rate, at 31.9 per 1000 for woman in the
18-19 and 20-24 age groups. The under-16 abortion rate was 3.7. In
2004 82% of the abortions was funded by the NHS. 88% were carried out
at under 13 weeks of gestation and 60% under 10 weeks. 1,900 abortions
(1%) was in risk of ground E risk.
Conclusion:
With the statistics gathered on the internet, I conclude that in 2004
there was a greater amount of abortions than the other two years
stated above.
Probibly the two years with similarity is years 2003 and 2004, as the
share the similar abortion rates and age standerdization.
Also the rates for under-16’s increases in the three year time period,

In the United States about 1.6 million pregnancies end in abortion. Women with incomes under eleven thousand are over three times more likely to abort than those with incomes above twenty-five thousand. Unmarried women are four to five times more likely to abort than married and the abortion rate has doubled for 18 and 19 year olds. Recently the U.S. rate dropped 6 percent overall but the rate of abortion among girls younger than 15 jumped 18 percent. The rate among minority teens cli...
Unintentional pregnancies statistically bring a host of economic, emotional, and physical ills to mother and baby. About half of the unintended pregnancies in Washington State are aborted, according to the state Department of Health. That rate is consistent with the rest of the US. Even though there is a demand for abortion providers, man...
In the article Abortion As a Blessing, Grace, or Gift-A Renewed Conversation about Reproductive Rights by Valerie Trico, the author discussed different arguments pro-life advocates say about abortion. The author cites “Abortion is immoral. God hates abortion”. According to Tarico, is more immoral and irresponsible to bring a child into the world under “bad circumstances” such rape, teen pregnancies and unwanted pregnancies, where possibilities of success in life would be limited. According to the author abortion is a “sacred gift or blessing” that enables women to choose when to bring a child into this world, which at the same time will help their children to “flourish”. Tarico says that Planned Parenthood is a very important step that could prevent as much as “half of abortions in the future”. Tarico concludes that babies have the “right to be truly loved and wanted” and that parents should bring them into this world “when they’re fully ready to welcome them with open arms. In my opinion the author is right in pointing out that unplanned

The standard argument against abortion rests on the claim that the fetus is a person and therefore has a right to life (Thompson, 1971). Judith Jarvis Thomson shows why this standard argument against abortion is a somewhat inadequate account of the morality of abortion. She argues for the conclusion that abortion is sometimes permissible. She begins the essay by pointing out on whether or not the fetus is a person. If fetuses are persons then abortions must be impermissible, and that if fetuses are not persons then abortions must be permissible.
Abortion is a sensitive topic globally, culturally, and socially. There’s more than forty percent of women that end their pregnancy by abortion. In every nation of the world a woman makes the choice for an abortion. Abortion is a procedure that allows a woman to end the life from her pregnancy. There was a time when unsafe abortion was one of the many causes of maternal death. Unsafe abortion went down over the last two decades. When abortion became legal the tragic health issues for women reduced as well as death. There are thirty-six countries willing to allow a woman 's abortion if the female 's life is threatened. Those few countries make the exception depending on her situation of rape, incest, and fetal damage. Now abortion is known as a safe and legal way for a woman to end an unwanted pregnancy. In a woman’s first trimester
In United States, illegal abortion could increase after the argue of Roe vs. Wade case. There were people who have no skilled of doing abortion the safe way made more complication and unsafe abortions. In many countries abortion was illegal, but women didn’t care about the law. “Nearly one-half of all abortions worldwide are performed in countries that allow abortions only in very limited circumstances. While abortion rates are high in Eastern European countries such as Russia and Romania where abortion is legal, they are also relatively high in some Latin American countries, where the procedure is highly restricted”
In the U.S. about 1.6 million pregnancies end in abortion. A majority of women in America with an income below 11,000 are 3 times more likely to abort their unborn child rather than those whose income is above 25,000. Also, women who are divorced or unmarried are 4 to 5 times more likely to abort than a stable married woman.(1)
The topic of this research paper is abortions. Abortion is a hot topic and everyone has their own views and opinions on them. People have different views on abortion due to religious background, political party, gender and age. What is an abortion one might ask. An abortion is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often preformed the first twenty eight weeks of pregnancy. This topic is very important because peoples views very so much. Some people do not agree with abortion because they think that is like killing a living person, other people think if they are not ready for a child this might be the best option. From this case study i hope to learn more about the laws of abortion and how they vary from state to state. I am going
Abortion is the removal of an embryo from a pregnant woman before the end of the pregnancy (Rich. Wagner). About 1.21 million abortions are performed each year which is a fifth of all pregnancies in the United States (Ballaro. Wagner). Since 1973, over 40 million babies have been aborted (Wilson). That is a lot of babies that weren’t even given a chance to live. Eleven percent of abortions happen in the second trimester (Ballaro. Wagner).
In America, one million teenagers get pregnant every year (National Abortion Federation, 2003). Of these pregnancies, 78% are unplanned because these teenagers start having sex at a very young age and are unaware of ways to prevent pregnancies. Thirty five percent of the pregnant teenagers chose to abort, as they fear that the consequences of the pregnancy might cause significant effects to their lives. The problems that come with teenage pregnancies include dropping out of school, receiving inadequate prenatal care, developing health problems, relying on public assistance to raise a child, and probably divorcing their partners. In most states, the law allows pregnant teenagers to take their babies for adoption without consulting their parents. The same laws allow the teenagers to have an abortion but require parental notification or consent before carrying out the procedure. These laws prove biased as they favor one resolution over the other, as they force some to bear babies they do not want by restricting their options.
Expecting to completely eliminate abortions from the face of the earth by making them illegal and getting rid of the facilities that provide them is an awfully absurd idea due to the fact that abortions will never cease to exist. Induced abortions have taken place all over the world, and “societies have [been struggling with] the issue of abortion for millennia” (Abortion). Within countries where abortions are essentially illegal, many turn to unsafe abortion methods, usually performed by unskilled practitioners (Chapter 5). These procedures are “often unsanitary… and [result] in the death or mutilation of many women” (Abortion). In areas where these services are not attainable, many women are prompted to seek out specialists to assist them in dangerous and surreptitious methods of abortion such as repeated blows to the stomach and the insertion of bizarre objects in the vagina and cervix. However, abortion-related deaths are usually quite rare in developed countries where the service is both legal and accessible. It is estimated...
Every year around election time the topic ‘Abortion’ becomes a serious thought for many people when it comes down to deciding who they want representing them. Everybody has their own beliefs about abortion, which are mainly supported by their religious views. Nearly one million women have abortions every year, having to go through making the decision of life or death of their unborn child.
According to the daily mail (2009), Britain has the highest rate of teenage birth and abortion rate among western European country in spite of it been the largest...
