A new study has brought to light a shocking fact– 41 million abortions were sanctioned by married women between 2010-2014 making up for 73% of all abortions in that time period.
This speaks to the level of infidelity in the world today. The new study was conducted by the Guttmacher Institute and the World Health Organisation.
The study’s conclusions posit that between 2010–2014, a quarter of all pregnancies worldwide ended in abortion. It also measured that by marital status, the estimated abortion rate in 2010–2014 was 35 per 1,000 women – 36 per 1,000 for married women and 25 per 1,000 for unmarried women.
The publication entitled “Abortion incidence between 1990 and 2014: global, regional, and subregional levels and trends,” by Gilda Sedgh et al. Identified that the overall number of abortions per 1,000 women of childbearing age (15–44 years old) in developed countries dropped from 46 to 27, in developing countries, it changed little, from 39 to 37.
